Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Adolescence is a time when we experience social issues, as well as issues of identity, independence and dealing with authority figures. It can be a tumultuous time for adolescents and parents.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, adolescents can become aware of any behaviors and conflicts are contributing to their unhappiness, as well find ways to be independent and meet your goals while facing parental or authority figure demands. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

KIND Counseling, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
As a clinician, I've been working with teenagers for over 25years in various capacities (social worker, group therapist, supervisor, director, business owner). Navigating the teen years can be very challenging for parents, as well as clinicians; and my expertise in this area can be very advantageous to the young people that we engage in clinically. We also have other therapists who work extremely well with younger children.

Christine Clark, PsyD
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
For the past 10 years, I have worked as a school psychologist and have a breath of experience working with children, adolescence, and their families on different issues related to school, Home, friends, family, and any other unexpected issues life tends to throw their way. Adolescence is a very special and unique time of life, and I believe it requires a warm and collaborative approach to make sure adolescence feel heard, understood and their perspective valued. As with other issues that I help with, I believe a warm and open collaborative relationship allows for the best success.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. This can include anxiety, mood changes, school difficulties, peer relationships, family stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, developmentally appropriate, and strengths-based, helping young people feel safe expressing themselves while building skills for emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving. I incorporate play-based and creative techniques with younger children, and a more collaborative, insight-oriented approach with teens. I also work closely with parents and caregivers to support consistency, strengthen relationships, and create a more supportive home environment. My goal is to help children and adolescents feel more confident, understood, and equipped to handle life’s challenges.
