Child or Adolescent Issues
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Your child can worry and have anxiety over seemingly simple things or things they may not verbalize, leaving it difficult for you to know what to say or do to help them.
Children have an especially hard time identifying their emotions while trying to navigate through life. Heck, it’s even hard for ME to grasp what I’m sometimes feeling! How can we expect a youngster to know what’s going on and how to deal?
When kids don’t have a context to explore their feelings, they tend to lash out with anger, rage, down in the dirt-hurt, isolation, or other concerning behaviors.
Do you know how often we hear the word “tantrum”?

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.

Working with children and adolescents requires a holistic approach. I help clients address their attention issues from a variety of different angles.

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 If you are noticing that you feel very powerless, helpless, withdrawn, or out of control in your relationship, you may be experiencing some resurfacing of childhood issues that are impacting your interactions with your partner.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.

Kelsey Bass
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS, LMFT
Preteens and teens face unique challenges, from navigating peer pressure and academic stress to exploring their identities and managing family dynamics. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for young individuals to express their feelings, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping skills. By establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation, empowering preteens and teens to navigate this critical stage of life with confidence and resilience. My goal is to help them understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and thrive during these transformative years.
