Child/Teen
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Childhood and adolescence can be times of tremendous growth — but also stress, confusion, and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, school difficulties, peer and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment to change.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and developmentally attuned. I work to create a safe, trusting space where young people can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Sessions often include age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), emotional regulation skills, and guided problem-solving — all tailored to the child’s developmental level and individual needs.
Equally important, I work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen communication and consistency at home. By helping families learn practical tools for support and structure, therapy becomes not just a place for the child to grow, but a foundation for the whole family to thrive.
Whether a child is struggling with school stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or family changes, my goal is to help them build resilience, confidence, and emotional understanding that will serve them for life.

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.

Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
I LOVE working with teenagers! Four out of five of my kids are adolescents, so I like to think I understand this population fairly well. For whatever reason, I find I can easily connect with teens; and once we connect and trust one another, we are able to work through many of the struggles they face. Teens today are often misunderstood and underestimated. The truth of the matter is that we've built this world for them that is 24/7 stressful and anxiety-producing. We've built tiny computers they carry in their pockets that are forcing them to constantly be on-call, on-screen, and on fire! Then we have the audacity to blame them for their anxiety, depression, poor focus, loneliness, and addictions that WE created! Don't tell my kids, but we are the ones who should be grounded...
