Congruent Relationships Counseling & Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
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.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We understand that children and adolescents don’t struggle in isolation—their emotional and behavioral challenges are often shaped by family dynamics, school environments, identity development, and systemic stressors. We provide developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed care for children and teens navigating anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, peer conflict, academic stress, and life transitions.
We specialize in supporting youth from historically marginalized communities and families who are seeking care that is culturally responsive, affirming, and strengths-based. Our clinicians help young people build emotional regulation skills, confidence, and healthy communication, while also working collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen support systems at home and school.
Whether a child is experiencing big emotions, behavioral changes, the impact of trauma, or challenges related to identity and belonging, Full Being Services creates a safe, supportive space for growth, healing, and resilience—honoring both the child’s voice and the family’s values.
