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.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Children and adolescent youth struggle with myriad emotions and mood swings. Many behaviors are actually normal, but others can cause barriers to well being. Children’s brains are still forming, so it is important for them to learn important skills to manage intense and overwhelming emotions just as they are moving through childhood stages of development.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have had the privilege to work with children and adolescents for many years in the school, outpatient, residential and inpatient setting. I enjoy helping children to identify and build on their strengths and learn skills at a young age so they can feel more confident about who they are and grow to be the best version of themself. Integral to working with children or adolescents is involving parents so they can learn how to work together to create a harmonious home environment and guide their children or adolescent through difficult situations. I also may collaborate with schools so that interventions can be implemented that focus on their strengths.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
