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.

Christine Clark, PsyD

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.

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.

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.
