Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.

Navigating the teenage years can feel like a constant tug-of-war between seeking independence and needing a safe place to land. At Congruent Relationships, we provide a non-judgmental space where teens can drop the performance and explore their authentic identities without fear of being "fixed" or misunderstood. By focusing on emotional safety and open communication, we help young people align their inner feelings with their outward actions, building a foundation for healthy relationships that last a lifetime.

heARTtherapy with Amy
Art Therapist, LAPC, ATR
Is it difficult for your child to talk about challenging situations? Do you have the teen who doesn't want to talk about it? Children and teens gravitate towards art materials and the art can do the talking alone or be a bridge to the talking. Art therapy can happen in the metaphor and through line, shape, colors and characters. It doesn't have to directly name the hard stuff to be affective or evoke change. I have facilitated children processing grief, trauma and relationship challenges through characters as well as the abstract using a variety of materials from markers and crayons to paint and clay. Play is therapeutic for all of us and with my guidance, art therapy can be very healing.

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.
