Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
At this point in my career I only want to work with children and adolescents who are motivated to change and want help. But over the last 30 years I have worked with over 1,000 pre-teens and teens. I started two therapeutic schools, have worked with teens in therapeutic outdoor adventure programs, community mental health, residential treatment facilities, psychiatric hospitals, a juvenile corrections facility, etc.

Restoring Hope Counseling & Consulting, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, RPT, NCC, CCPRT
All of our clinicians have been trained at the world renowned Center for Play Therapy. We utilize the only evidence-based form of play therapy called Child-Centered Play Therapy. The specific counseling skills we use in play therapy with children actually enhance our work with teens and adults as well, whether providing sandtray therapy, other expressive art activities, or simple talk therapy. When working with minors, we meet with their parents on a regular basis too in order to provide support to the parents and keep them involved in the therapeutic process.

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.

Dr. Karina Luaces
Psychologist, PsyD.
The teenage and young adult years can be some of the most emotionally complex. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where young people can feel truly heard — whether they're navigating self-esteem struggles, peer relationships, school stress, or intense emotions.
