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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.
