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.
Every child deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered. Let’s help them thrive.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.
