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.

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.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We live in a complicated society and being a child or adolescent (and being a parent) can be hard. Many people have unresolved issues from their childhood or adolescence. Whatever the case for you, we will work together to address the issues. There is a lot parents can do at home with their children. You know your child best and I know what helps a lot of families; with this team approach you can expect positive results. I also give children a safe, comforting place to process their concerns and emotions. Skill-building is included when needed to help kids learn to manage stress and anger, and have better relationships with others.
