Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 5 years of experience working as a high school therapist in NYC supporting adolescents and their families, often in the context of complex trauma, abuse histories, and significant relational conflict at home and school. This work has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming and misunderstood the adolescent experience can be, especially for young people who are struggling to manage intense emotions, behavioral challenges, or difficult environments.
I’ve worked closely with youth who were often labeled as “oppositional” or “defiant,” but I approach these behaviors through a more compassionate lens—seeing them as signals that a young person is struggling and needs support, safety, and an advocate. Developmentally, I understand how adolescent brain structures contribute to impulsivity, risk-taking, and difficulty with emotional regulation, and I use that framework to help both teens and caregivers make sense of behaviors that can otherwise feel confusing or frustrating.
A central part of my work involves bridging the gap between adolescents and their parents or caregivers. I focus on helping families improve communication, reduce misunderstanding, and rebuild trust in the relationship. By supporting both the young person and their family system, I aim to create more connection, stability, and mutual understanding at home, so that adolescents feel both supported and better able to navigate their emotions and challenges.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* With 6 years of experience working in schools, ranging from elementary to college, I intricately and intimately understand the unique challenges that accompany childhood and adolescence. I believe that the greatest gift we can give to our children is the gift of nonjudgmental understanding, and it can be extremely helpful to provide them with an objective third party support. I specialize in helping younger individuals successfully manage their growing pains and navigate through the complex and informative years of change and transition, so that they are able to build a strong and healthy foundation from which to flourish and thrive. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
I work with children as young as 8, often incorporating some form of play or storytelling into the therapy to help them communicate at an age-appropriate level. I work with adolescents all through the teen years and into adulthood, shaping our work to fit to where the teen is developmentally. While I encourage and need family/parent involvement periodically or as needed, I try to create a safe space where I can also talk to the child or adolescent in a space that is different from the home or family.
