Child/Teen
Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
I help adolescents navigate a wide range of challenges, including low self-esteem, bullying, depression, anxiety, social struggles, academic pressure, and relationship issues. While teletherapy may not be ideal for very young children, it can be highly effective for teens—and I continue to enjoy working with them in this format. My experience includes many years in a residential treatment setting for adolescents, which gave me deep insight into the unique pressures they face. I also bring advanced training in family therapy, which informs my work by considering each teen not just as an individual, but as part of a larger family system. This approach helps foster lasting change by improving communication, strengthening relationships, and supporting the whole family.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Adolescence is a time of very real physical and emotional changes, and certainly during this pandemic, there is greater concern for screen time, isolation, and education. Boundaries, skill sets, and emotional expression work does improve anxiety and can help teens grow in other ways.
