Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Growing up is not easy for anyone including children, adolescents, or their parents! The reality is that it can be very hard to be a child or teen. They experience vast changing emotions, however, they are not equipped at their developmental stages to handle or understand feelings and experiences the same way as adults. I would strive to provide a nonjudgmental, safe and comforting environment for your child or adolescent to process through their various degrees of emotions and experiences, and aid them in expressing and making sense of how they are feeling more effectively.

Alyssa Williamson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
I spent 6 years working in the child welfare system with children and teens who were refugees and survivors of trafficking. As a therapist in private practice, I work extensively with teens and their families to address common issues such as depression, anxiety, AHDH, and school and social issues, as well as specialized concerns about trauma and PTSD, abuse recovery, body image, eating disorders, and OCD.

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.

Nick Young
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-Associate
I work with teens who are navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, self-doubt, identity questions, school pressure, relationships, family conflict, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty feeling confident in who they are. Adolescence can be a challenging season, especially when teens feel misunderstood, disconnected, or unsure how to express what they are carrying. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative, helping teens feel seen while building emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in working with teens, my approach to treatment is rooted in empathy, respect, and understanding of the unique developmental challenges adolescents face. I create a safe and supportive environment where teens feel heard and validated, fostering trust and open communication. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, I address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, peer relationships, identity exploration, and academic stress. I collaborate closely with teens to set achievable goals, develop coping skills, and navigate life transitions effectively. Additionally, I recognize the importance of involving parents or guardians in the therapeutic process to provide support and facilitate positive changes within the family system. My goal is to empower teens to overcome challenges, build resilience, and thrive emotionally and academically during this critical stage of development.
