Natasha Lacey
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
Children and teens do not always have the words to explain what they are experiencing. Anxiety, irritability, withdrawal, emotional outbursts, school difficulties, grief, family changes, peer concerns, or behavioral changes may signal that they are struggling. I create an age-appropriate and supportive environment where young people can express themselves, build coping and emotional regulation skills, and feel understood while involving caregivers when therapeutically appropriate.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
With over 30 years' experience in helping families understand and address emotional and behavioral problems with their children and teens, I have had many successes in helping resolve negative behaviors, difficult relationships, and even substance abuse issues. I also provide assessment of emotional and learning issues, liaison with schools to provide accommodations, communicate with physicians to begin, adjust or modify medication regimens, and provide suggestions regarding other services that might make a big difference in the child's emotional and/or academic well-being.

The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
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.
