Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
From the outset of my graduate training and research interests, I have worked in multiple settings with children, teens and families to encourage closeness, connection and regulation. Attachment frames the work that I do with kids to ensure that existing attachments relationships-parents, extended family, siblings, teachers, friends-are seen as the connective tissue of healthy growth and development for folks at all ages across the life span.

Dr. Brittany Mathews
Psychologist, PhD, LP, APIT
As a clinical child and adolescent psychologist, I have a deep understanding of normative development throughout childhood and adolescence, as well as the ability to recognize when emotional or behavioral concerns begin to interfere with a young person’s well-being. I specialize in addressing a broad range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and social struggles. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I work closely with both children and adolescents to help them navigate the complexities of growing up, while also supporting parents in managing their child’s evolving needs. Using tailored therapeutic techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and compassionate support, I help young people build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and effective coping skills. My goal is to create a safe and empowering environment where children and adolescents can develop the tools they need to thrive now and in the future.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Being a teenager right now is a lot. Between school pressure, social dynamics, family expectations, identity development, and the constant presence of social media, many teens are navigating more than they’re given credit for. What gets labeled as “attitude” or “withdrawal” is often stress, overwhelm, or trying to make sense of themselves in a world that can feel intense and unforgiving. And for many teens—especially those holding marginalized identities—there are added layers of cultural expectations, discrimination, and pressure to navigate systems that don’t always feel safe or affirming.
At Nour Counseling, we work with teens in a way that feels real, not forced or overly clinical. We take time to build trust, understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface, and create space where they can speak openly without feeling judged or dismissed. We help teens develop practical tools for managing emotions, navigating relationships, setting boundaries, and building a stronger sense of self. We also collaborate thoughtfully with caregivers when appropriate, while still respecting the teen’s voice and autonomy. Our goal is to support teens in feeling more grounded, more understood, and better equipped to move through this stage of life with clarity and support.
