Child/Teen
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Children and adolescents often express distress through behaviour rather than words. My work focuses on understanding these responses as adaptive ways of coping with underlying experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach and a focus on how young people learn to adapt to feel safe, I support both the child and their caregivers in creating greater understanding, regulation, and connection.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I work with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, or identity-related challenges during important stages of development. Together, we create a supportive, developmentally appropriate space where they can better understand and express their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and strengthen communication and self-awareness. My approach is engaging, collaborative, and tailored to the child or teen’s needs, helping them feel heard while also learning practical tools they can use in daily life. When appropriate, I also work with caregivers to support consistency, strengthen understanding, and promote lasting progress at home and in other settings. The goal is greater emotional stability, confidence, and healthier relationships for both the client and their support system. If you’re looking for support for your child or teen, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

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.

Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I enjoy working with adolescent. They are a big part of my practice. It is a special stage of development and must be addressed differently. Adolescent are struggling at becoming a responsible adult and at separating from their parents. It is often a difficult time due to lack of communication with the parents and of understanding. I involved the parents in the sessions when it is needed.
