Child or Adolescent Issues
Relationship Therapy Center - serving individuals and couples in CA online and in the Sacramento area
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified Gottman Therapist
Play is the natural language of children so when they can play with a trained therapist who can do therapy at the same time, it's the best of both worlds. Your child wants to come and they are getting the treatment that they need at the same time.
With teens, it can take time to develop rapport and help them open up. We have an amazing training program for all of the therapists who specialize in working with teens so they can create a safe environment for teens who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, peer relationship struggles and all the life transitions they are going through.

Kelda Hartman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Do you feel like you don’t really know your child or teen anymore? Is your child or teen acting differently than they used to? Do you feel like something is going on inside of them but they won’t open up to you? Are they acting out in ways that are disruptive at school, home or in life in general? If your attempts to get through to them leave you feeling more and more frustrated and lost, sometimes bringing in a caring professional can help. Getting your child or teen the help they need is the most loving thing to do. Whatever the reason you are considering counseling for your child, teen or family, I believe I can help. No matter how wonderful a parent you are or how much you love your child or teen, sometimes they may find it easier to open up to someone outside of the family circle. If you feel that your child needs therapy, that does not mean you’ve failed as a parent. In fact, it means you are a caring parent, because you recognize their need and are trying to get them help.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Historically I worked a lot with children and adolescents. In recent years I have shifted away from working with young kids but still work with quite a number of adolescents. Very often this work involves meeting individually with the teen, but often too do I also hold sessions with the teen and their parent. Other times, I coach parents of teens without necessarily working directly with the teen themselves. My approach tends to involve helping adolescents learn to make healthy decisions by assisting them in thinking through their choices, consequences, and essentially assisting them in becoming more effective in finding strategies that will get them the results they want while minimizing negative outcomes. In general I avoid sharing much information about them with their parents directly unless there is a concern about safety. Rather, my approach is to help the teen to communicate with their parents themselves. When it would be helpful I often help the teen to have these healthier communications with there parents in family therapy sessions. As a parenting coach, I try to assist parents in shifting to age appropriate parenting strategies when possible.

Sabrina Gramatica
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with children and teens to address a range of emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. Using a compassionate and client-centered approach, I integrate play therapy, parts work, and other age-appropriate strategies to help young clients express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. My focus is on creating a supportive environment where they can explore their emotions, navigate challenges, and develop a stronger sense of self.
