Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We live in a complicated society and being a child or adolescent (and being a parent) can be hard. Many people have unresolved issues from their childhood or adolescence. Whatever the case for you, we will work together to address the issues. There is a lot parents can do at home with their children. You know your child best and I know what helps a lot of families; with this team approach you can expect positive results. I also give children a safe, comforting place to process their concerns and emotions. Skill-building is included when needed to help kids learn to manage stress and anger, and have better relationships with others.

I have extensive experience...over 20 years working with children and adolescents. I find that my office, casual demeanor and use of art/play/yoga/writing/guided imagery/talk with this population has been received well. My office has a new provider, Virginia Rivera LSW who is now accepting new child/adolescent clients and I am supervising her work.

Supporting Children & Teens Through Life’s Challenges
Growing up comes with unique challenges, and sometimes kids and teens need extra support to navigate emotions, relationships, and life transitions. At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, understanding, and judgment-free environment where young people can express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. Our therapists specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer relationships, school stress, self-esteem, and family dynamics.
Using age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy techniques, and mindfulness, we help kids and teens develop emotional awareness, problem-solving skills, and confidence. We also collaborate with parents to provide guidance and tools to support their child’s well-being at home.

Dayton is an Ohio city with a distinctive dual identity as both a struggling post-industrial community and a city defined by innovation—the birthplace of aviation and home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important USAF installations in the country—and this tension between decline and purpose shapes its mental health landscape in complex ways. The city was among the hardest hit by the opioid and fentanyl epidemic in the late 2010s, becoming a nationally recognized epicenter for drug-related deaths that prompted significant community response and transformed how local mental health services approach addiction and recovery. The University of Dayton and Wright State University bring student populations and academic resources, while Kettering Health and Premier Health provide behavioral health services to the broader community. Common therapy concerns include addiction and recovery, trauma (both opioid-related community grief and military trauma from the WPAFB population), anxiety, depression, and the economic stress of a city working to rebuild its identity after decades of industrial decline.
