Gladys Cisneros
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Growing up comes with big feelings, big changes, and big pressures, and kids and teens often do not have the words for what they are carrying. I offer a warm, engaging space where young people can open up at their own pace and feel truly heard. Together we'll build coping skills and confidence, and I will work closely with parents so the whole family feels supported.

Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Kids and teenagers don't always have the words for what they're feeling — but they carry just as much as adults do. Anxiety that looks like defiance. ADHD that looks like laziness. Big emotions that come out sideways because no one's taught them how to name what's happening inside.
I work with children as young as five through college age, meeting each young person where they are developmentally and building the kind of trust that makes real therapeutic work possible. Over more than 20 years of practice — and as a parent myself — I've learned that young clients need to feel genuinely safe before they'll open up. That takes patience, creativity, and a willingness to follow their lead.
I most commonly work with young people navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and the stress that comes with family transitions or conflict. When it's helpful, I bring parents into the process — not to report on their child, but to equip the whole family to support growth at home. The goal is always the same: help the young person understand themselves better, build real coping skills, and feel less alone in whatever they're facing.

Madison Short Conteh - Joy in the Morning Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, RPT
Children experience the same world we do, but they're feeling it all for the first time. Sometimes they react in ways that surprise, confuse, or concern us as parents. Sometimes we see our kids encounter the same problems we did, and that hurts. Sometimes we see them face problems we never imagined, and that feels overwhelming. Play Therapy, and Child Parent Relationship Therapy, are here to help with that.
I've been working with children as a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) for nearly a decade, and in that time become a mother myself. I've sat with families when the world flipped upside down for them. And I have seen the amazing resilience of children.
With Child Parent Relationship Therapy we focus on the relationship between you and your child. There is nothing quite as healing as that relationship. In 10 weeks I give you the same skills I use as a play therapist, and a structured way to use them at home. I especially love walking through this course with foster families. You deserve to get the joy of parenting back, and CPRT can help.
I use Child Centered Play Therapy with children. With this approach, I get to meet your kid where they are developmentally. I use the same skills I use with adults (even EMDR!) but in child attuned ways.
While I have worked with many issues, I specialize in treating trauma, including sexual abuse, domestic violence, and sex trafficking.
