Child or Adolescent Issues
Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have focused my private clinical practice on working with adolescents and young adults in particular. I have a lot of experience clinically and through volunteering working with adolescents. Whether in middle school, high school, college/early 20s, I really enjoy providing support and guidance to individuals in the incredibly important developmental phase of adolescence. It's important for adolescents to have their own safe, trusted outlet to explore the time period between childhood and full independence, which can include a lot of growth edges such as familial conflict, tumultuous peer relationships, overwhelming emotions, and new risk behaviors.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services are designed to address the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents as they navigate through pivotal stages of development. Appreciating the complexities of youth experiences, from the pressures of academic performance to social integration and identity formation, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth, self-understanding, and resilience.
Tailored Support for Young Individuals
* Developmentally Appropriate Counseling: Our approaches are specifically chosen to match the developmental stage of the child or adolescent.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the importance of the family system, we encourage family involvement in the counseling process when it's beneficial. This can help ensure that the home environment supports the child’s therapeutic goals.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For older children and adolescents, CBT can be effective in addressing thought patterns and behaviors linked to their challenges, helping modify their responses to various situations.
* Skills Building: We focus on developing key life skills, like effective communication, problem-solving, emotion regulation, and social skills, which can empower children and adolescents to overcome personal obstacles and interact more confidently with their peers.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: We work to strengthen a young person's sense of self-worth, highlighting their strengths, and encouraging positive self-expression.
Goals of Counseling for Child or Adolescent Issues
With a compassionate and holistic approach, our therapy aims to help young people:
* Navigate Emotional Challenges: Equip children and adolescents with tools to process and articulate their emotions to cope with challenges in a healthy manner.
* Improve Behavioral Outcomes: Address behavioral issues by identifying their root causes and fostering positive change.
* Boost Social Skills: Encourage the development of social skills that can improve interactions with peers and family members.
* Strengthen Family Relationships: Work towards creating a supportive family environment where each member understands and respects one another's needs and boundaries.
* Action Plan for Future Challenges: Build resilience and an action plan so that young individuals can handle future challenges with confidence and adaptability.
Whether your child or teen is dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, adjusting to family changes, or simply needs someone to talk to, we're here to support their journey and celebrate their unique personalities. Reach out to us, and together, we can lay the groundwork for a happier, healthier future.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
From the outset of my graduate training and research interests, I have worked in multiple settings with children, teens and families to encourage closeness, connection and regulation. Attachment frames the work that I do with kids to ensure that existing attachments relationships-parents, extended family, siblings, teachers, friends-are seen as the connective tissue of healthy growth and development for folks at all ages across the life span.
