Child or Adolescent Issues
Ms Lori Carpenos
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I meet with parents first and I often recommend my parenting group. I help parents work better with their children so it is not necessary for me to meet with young children. Adolescents are better able to articulate their feelings and appreciate the safe space I provide for them to express themselves.

With over 30 years' experience in helping families understand and address emotional and behavioral problems with their children and teens, I have had many successes in helping resolve negative behaviors, difficult relationships, and even substance abuse issues. I also provide assessment of emotional and learning issues, liaison with schools to provide accommodations, communicate with physicians to begin, adjust or modify medication regimens, and provide suggestions regarding other services that might make a big difference in the child's emotional and/or academic well-being.

Riesa Minakan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have a unique ability to connect with teenagers and young adults. Adolescents and young adults can be very tricky to work with but it really does start with being able to make a connection. Being transparent and allowing them to know you is part of making that initial connection.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My specialty lies in working with adolescents. This beautiful and complex time of life requires a unique understanding and approach in order for change to happen. I use a strengths-based lens to empower the teenagers and young adults I work with to confront their current challenges and to feel confident in their choices. These relationships are built on the foundation of trust, empathy and compassion.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in working with teens, my approach to treatment is rooted in empathy, respect, and understanding of the unique developmental challenges adolescents face. I create a safe and supportive environment where teens feel heard and validated, fostering trust and open communication. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, I address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, peer relationships, identity exploration, and academic stress. I collaborate closely with teens to set achievable goals, develop coping skills, and navigate life transitions effectively. Additionally, I recognize the importance of involving parents or guardians in the therapeutic process to provide support and facilitate positive changes within the family system. My goal is to empower teens to overcome challenges, build resilience, and thrive emotionally and academically during this critical stage of development.
