Child or Adolescent Issues
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for child and adolescent issues, also called child therapy or teenage therapy, is a specialized form of counseling designed to satisfy children and adolescents' unique emotional, developmental, and behavioral requirements. Child and adolescent therapists are trained to work with young clients and provide a secure and supportive environment for them to express themselves, investigate their emotions, and overcome obstacles.
Child and adolescent therapy is highly individualized, with approaches varying according to the child's age, developmental level, and specific requirements. Therapists can employ techniques to engage juvenile clients and promote their emotional health and growth.
If you are concerned about the emotional health or behavior of a child or adolescent, a qualified child and adolescent therapist or counselor can provide valuable support and guidance for the child and his or her family.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
Adolescence today means navigating a digital world where everything feels recorded and public with no room for mistakes. Young people face collective anxiety about climate change, political division, social media, AI, and college applications—all while their brains are still developing.
Therapy gives kids and teens a trusted space with an adult who isn’t a parent or teacher. The coping skills and insights they develop now can become the foundation for their adult lives.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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.
