Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
With over 30 years' experience in helping families understand and address emotional and behavioral problems with their children and teens, I have had many successes in helping resolve negative behaviors, difficult relationships, and even substance abuse issues. I also provide assessment of emotional and learning issues, liaison with schools to provide accommodations, communicate with physicians to begin, adjust or modify medication regimens, and provide suggestions regarding other services that might make a big difference in the child's emotional and/or academic well-being.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.

Adrienne O'Neal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT
I enjoy working with adolescents and creating a space where they can contemplate their thoughts, feelings and actions out loud with no judgement or being told what to do. My goal is helping my clients become who they are independent of what their environment has told them to be while learning understand themselves in the process.
