Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Growing up can come with challenges that children and teens don’t always have the words or tools to navigate on their own. Changes in mood, anxiety, behavior, friendships, school, family relationships, or self-esteem can be signs that additional support may be helpful. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and age-appropriate space where young people can feel heard, understood, and accepted.
Outpatient therapy can help children and adolescents build emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, communication skills, and healthier ways of managing stress and difficult emotions. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, school-related stress, family changes, or difficulty adjusting to life transitions, therapy can offer support for both the child and the family. The goal is to help young people develop the skills and confidence they need to navigate challenges and thrive.

Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for child and adolescent issues, also called child therapy or teenage therapy, is a specialized form of counseling designed to satisfy children and adolescents' unique emotional, developmental, and behavioral requirements. Child and adolescent therapists are trained to work with young clients and provide a secure and supportive environment for them to express themselves, investigate their emotions, and overcome obstacles.
Child and adolescent therapy is highly individualized, with approaches varying according to the child's age, developmental level, and specific requirements. Therapists can employ techniques to engage juvenile clients and promote their emotional health and growth.
If you are concerned about the emotional health or behavior of a child or adolescent, a qualified child and adolescent therapist or counselor can provide valuable support and guidance for the child and his or her family.

Catherine Saunders
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Working with Children, Adolescents and Young Adults is my strongest specialty because it was during that time in life when I needed support and it was hard to find. I love introducing first time and continuing therapy clients to a positive experience they can carry throughout their lives.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
