Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
I work with young people who are 11+ years of age. Adolescent years can be difficult to navigate! Preteens and teenagers are experiencing anxiety at a higher rate than previous generations. I am passionate about helping young people have a space to be themselves, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and build healthy, strong relationships with their support systems.

Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
I work with children and adolescents in a supportive, age-appropriate, and compassionate environment where they can feel safe, heard, and understood. My approach recognizes that children and teens may communicate their emotions through behavior, withdrawal, anger, anxiety, academic difficulties, or changes in relationships rather than through words alone. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and solution-focused techniques to help young clients identify and express their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, improve self-esteem and confidence, manage anxiety and stress, strengthen relationships, and navigate life transitions. When appropriate, I collaborate with parents and caregivers to help them better understand their child's needs and develop practical strategies that support emotional and behavioral growth at home. My goal is to help children and adolescents build the tools, confidence, and resilience they need to manage challenges and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I have a particular interest in working with children and adolescents as they navigate the often complex and evolving process of identity development. Adolescence is a time of profound change—emotionally, socially, and psychologically—and many young people struggle to make sense of who they are and where they belong.
I bring a specialized focus to working with adoptees and donor-conceived children and teens, who may face unique questions around identity, origin, and connection. These experiences can shape how young people understand themselves and their relationships in ways that are not always visible from the outside.
My approach is thoughtful, developmentally informed, and grounded in creating a space where young people feel safe to explore these questions openly. I also work closely with parents to help them better understand and support their child’s experience, strengthening communication and connection within the family as a whole.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.
