Child/Teen
Sara Pavel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Children and teens can have a hard time putting big feelings into words or knowing what to do when life feels overwhelming. I work with children and adolescents navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, school stress, friendships, family changes, and other challenges that can impact daily life. My approach is warm, practical, and developmentally appropriate, giving young clients tools they can actually use while working alongside parents to support lasting change at home. Therapy is a team effort, and we’ll work together to help your child feel more confident, understood, and capable.

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 several providers (Virginia Rivera LISW, Sara Pavel LPCC, Tracy Broa LPCC-S) who are now accepting new child/adolescent clients and I will offer case consultations if desired.

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.
