Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 5 years of experience working as a high school therapist in NYC supporting adolescents and their families, often in the context of complex trauma, abuse histories, and significant relational conflict at home and school. This work has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming and misunderstood the adolescent experience can be, especially for young people who are struggling to manage intense emotions, behavioral challenges, or difficult environments.
I’ve worked closely with youth who were often labeled as “oppositional” or “defiant,” but I approach these behaviors through a more compassionate lens—seeing them as signals that a young person is struggling and needs support, safety, and an advocate. Developmentally, I understand how adolescent brain structures contribute to impulsivity, risk-taking, and difficulty with emotional regulation, and I use that framework to help both teens and caregivers make sense of behaviors that can otherwise feel confusing or frustrating.
A central part of my work involves bridging the gap between adolescents and their parents or caregivers. I focus on helping families improve communication, reduce misunderstanding, and rebuild trust in the relationship. By supporting both the young person and their family system, I aim to create more connection, stability, and mutual understanding at home, so that adolescents feel both supported and better able to navigate their emotions and challenges.

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.
