Child/Teen
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.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in treating children and adolescents, with a focus on boys given that parents tend to primarily send me their boys. Most of my training during and after graduate school focused on the treatment of children and adolescents. I worked for a child welfare agency in the impoverished areas of Boston for 8 years before starting private practice in 2017.
