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
CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Kids and teens have a lot going on, and sometimes they need more than a pep talk. At The CBT Center, we work with younger patients on anxiety, depression, school stress, social struggles, and more, using evidence-based approaches adapted for how they actually think and communicate. We also work closely with parents, because the best outcomes happen when everyone is on the same page. We make therapy feel approachable, even for the kid who swore they'd never talk to a therapist.

Marie Paddock, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH, EMDR
