Glyndora Condon LPC of Heal and Hope Counseling Services, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Masters, Marriage and Family Therapy; Licensed Professional Counseling
Child and adolescent issues seem to throw parents a curve ball! This is a transitional period with drama, experimenting, defiance, and yet dependency due to lack of life skills and character. Social media's influence and the lowered respect of the family are concerns for our youth.

Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Children and teenagers experience many of the same difficult emotions as adults, but they may not always have the words or skills to explain what they are feeling. Changes in behavior, mood, school performance, relationships, sleep, or communication can sometimes be signs that a child or adolescent needs additional emotional support.
Our practice provides warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental child and adolescent counseling for children, teens, and families navigating emotional, behavioral, social, and family challenges.
Our clinicians work with young people experiencing concerns related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, behavioral problems, low self-esteem, social anxiety, bullying, grief and loss, trauma, family conflict, divorce or separation, peer relationships, school stress, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.
We believe children and adolescents need a therapeutic environment where they feel safe, respected, heard, and understood. Rather than simply focusing on a child's behavior, we work to understand the emotions, experiences, relationships, and circumstances that may be contributing to the behavior.
When appropriate, we also work collaboratively with parents and caregivers to strengthen parent-child communication, healthy boundaries, family relationships, routines, positive behavior strategies, and emotional support within the home.
Every child has strengths, and every family's situation is unique. Our goal is to help children and adolescents develop healthy coping skills, strengthen confidence, communicate their emotions more effectively, improve relationships, and build the emotional tools they need to grow into healthy and resilient young adults.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
Children and teenagers often communicate their struggles through behavior, emotions, relationships, or changes in functioning rather than words. I work to understand what may be underneath those behaviors while creating a safe, engaging space where young people can feel heard and understood. I also partner with parents and caregivers to support connection and growth.

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in Alton Park, East Chattanooga, and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental well-being.
