Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
