Child or Adolescent Issues
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Childhood and adolescence are among the most formative years of a girl's life, and when something feels off, it can affect everything from her confidence and friendships to her school performance and sense of self. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in supporting girls ages 6 and up through the unique emotional and developmental challenges of growing up, including behavioral concerns, emotional outbursts, social struggles, low self-esteem, school-related stress, and family changes. We create a warm, age-appropriate space where girls feel safe expressing themselves, being heard, and developing the coping skills they need to navigate life with confidence and resilience. Investing in your daughter's mental health today is one of the most powerful gifts you can give her tomorrow.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
I have been studying child development since high school and I find it to be one of the most important and helpful things to know. Some of the issues that are considered "bad behavior" are really appropriate developmental stages for children. Understanding whether behavior issues are because of development, inappropriate expectations, or emotional distress can go a long way in resolving them.

Child or Adolescent Issues
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.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
