Child or Adolescent Issues
Robynne OByrne
Psychologist, Ph.D.
During my training in graduate school, I specialized in Child and Adolescent Development. I have worked with children of all ages and worked as the Director of Counseling for 3 years at a private high school in Marin County. I have always found working with children and teenagers especially gratifying. This is a particularly challenging time to be a young person. There are so many issues that young people face - fears about climate change, politics, the economy. Social media and digital addiction only make things worse. There is an epidemic of anxiety and depression among young people and now more than ever do I feel the desire to help the youth of today develop the resilience to face life's challenges. My extensive experiences working with children and adolescents, as well as my experiences as the parent of two young adults allows me to make deep and meaningful connections with my young clients.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Work with children or adolescents is significantly different than therapeutic work with adults. My extensive training and experience with children and teenagers allow me to work effectively and with care, staying attuned to the singularities of each child's world and subjectivity.

Alessandra Snavely
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Navigating adolescence can be a challenging journey filled with unique pressures and changes. Whether it's dealing with academic stress, social dynamics, self-identity, or mental health concerns, I’m here to support teens in finding their voice and developing resilience. In our sessions, we’ll create a safe and confidential space for open dialogue, allowing teens to express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Using a combination of therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness and person-centered techniques, I help adolescents build coping skills, enhance self-esteem, and foster healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work towards empowering them to navigate this pivotal stage of life with confidence and clarity.

Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
If being a parent in 2022 is difficult, being a kid in 2022 is near impossible. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in close collaboration with parents/care-givers to assist in a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, school avoidance, bullying, self-esteem, divorce, co-parenting, and trauma. I utilize a unique combination of interactive play therapy, relational therapy, and EMDR (if appropriate) in order to give your child the most effective therapy experience.
