Child or Adolescent Issues
CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Kids and teens have a lot going on, and sometimes they need more than a pep talk. At The CBT Center, we work with younger patients on anxiety, depression, school stress, social struggles, and more, using evidence-based approaches adapted for how they actually think and communicate. We also work closely with parents, because the best outcomes happen when everyone is on the same page. We make therapy feel approachable, even for the kid who swore they'd never talk to a therapist.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with children and teens whose lives have been shaped by medical challenges, trauma, or neurodivergence. This may include serious or chronic illness, complex diagnoses, hospitalizations, accidents, frightening events, sexual abuse, or sensory and regulation differences that make school, friendships, or family life harder to navigate. Some young people I see are carrying several of these layers. Others are coping with one significant experience, such as PTSD after a specific event or the emotional impact of a new diagnosis.
Many of the children and teens I work with are carrying more than anyone realizes. On the outside, they may look like the good kid, the brave patient, or the one who holds everything together. Inside, they can feel scared, angry, overwhelmed, numb, or very alone.
My work is not general child therapy. I focus on how stress, trauma, medical experiences, and neurodivergence live in a young person’s body, emotions, and relationships. I also work closely with parents so you feel less isolated and more supported in responding to what your child is going through.
