Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
With a strong foundation as a former school counselor and over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating the emotional, academic, and social complexities of growing up. My approach is developmentally sensitive, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges young people face—whether it's anxiety, mood concerns, peer relationships, academic pressures, identity exploration, or family dynamics.
My background gives me a nuanced perspective on the systems that impact adolescents and allows me to bridge the gap between home, school, and therapy. I am especially passionate about helping teens build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while also empowering families with strategies to support their child’s growth.

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.

Tiffany Ziegler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
My experience working in schools and higher level of care allows me to work closely with children or adolescents who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, bullying, or divorce. I bring playfulness and curiosity to the sessions to give them practical tools to utilize while also giving them a space to drop everything and express their feelings. Adolescence is hard and working to build emotional regulation and identification and develop coping skills can make it feel a little lighter.

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.
