Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LAMFT
Growing up can be tough, and children and teens often face unique challenges that impact their emotional well-being, behavior, and relationships. At Sonoran Sky Family Therapy, I specialize in helping young people navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, peer pressure, family conflict, and identity struggles. Through a compassionate and tailored approach, I work closely with both the child and their family to understand the root of these challenges and foster healthy communication, coping skills, and emotional growth. Together, we can support your child or teen in finding balance and building confidence as they navigate life’s ups and downs.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perhaps your child seems to be struggling in ways that have you concerned. As a parent, we often want the change more than the child does, which can be a block to progress. If your child or other family members won't attend, beginning with change in even one family member can change the dynamic for the better. I often work predominantly or only with the parents so that the most motivated person is skilled in ways that help stuck patterns change for the better, leading to a calmer, more connected homelife.

Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Couple relationships have a very unique way of surfacing childhood issues. This is largely related to how human beings form their relational framework in childhood, which tends to also resurface within intimate relationships later. If you are noticing that you feel very powerless, helpless, withdrawn, or out of control in your relationship, you may be experiencing some resurfacing of childhood issues that are impacting your interactions with your partner. Couple therapy can be helpful to feel grounded, supported, and present in your relationship. This can largely be done through reflection, psychoeducation, processing (and reprocessing), and psychodrama. Couple relationships are a very powerful container for healing when it comes to childhood wounding. I can help you and your partner work towards establishing safety and trust, as well as building guardrails for how to show up well for each other in the midst of childhood pain. Let's find a way for your relationship to facilitate healing from your childhood instead of repeating it.
