Child or Adolescent Issues
Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have been working with children and adolescents for over 20 years. Children and teens experience mental health symptoms differently then adults, so it is critical your therapist is able to differentiate age/developmentally-appropriate behaviors from MH symptoms. I offer structured play, sand-tray, and expressive arts to create space and containment for children and teens to explore and process emotions, challenges, and parts of themselves, as well as to help them learn skills to increase regulation, reduce symptoms, and improve functioning.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We want parents to know that behavioral problems are relational problems. Anytime we work with a child, we work with the parent because anything that goes from the parent to the child is way more meaningful and effective than anything that goes from us to your child, because you have the permanent relationship. While we work with the child we look at ways in which parents can strengthen their relational bonds with their child and crystalize their child's trust and respect for them.

Suzanne Greene
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CAGCS
Today it may be more complicated than ever to be a pre-teen or teen. Teens face academic, family, and social pressures from friends, parents, teachers, social media, and sometimes even themselves. With so much going on, it is not uncommon for teens to show signs of anxiety, depression, academic changes, irritability, isolation, low self-esteem, reckless behavior, and sadness. Sometimes teens just need someone to talk to, that isn’t a family member, about difficult topics or emotions they are experiencing. It’s not that they don’t trust their family, but many times teens need a private, non-judgmental space of their own to gain insight and help.I have extensive experience working with teens, even those resistant to therapy. Additionally, I specialize working with teens managing high academic and athletic achievement, those with careers in the performing arts, and university planning to prepare them for their futures. My approach is comfortable and conversational where teens can safely explore their thoughts and feelings about a wide variety of topics. Through therapy teens learn to manage their emotions, become motivated toward goals, and grow into healthy young adults.
