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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I use a strength-based approach to support children and adolescents in therapy, by focusing on their inherent strengths, passions and potential rather than solely addressing problems or deficits. My therapeutic approach emphasizes identifying and harnessing each young person’s unique abilities, talents, and resilience in order to foster personal growth and improve problem-solving skills. Understanding the current landscape and challenges faced by youth today—such as academic pressures, social media influences and evolving family dynamics—is crucial for tailoring interventions that are relevant and impactful. I intentionally integrate the child’s or adolescent’s imagination and creativity into therapy as well, in order to create a therapeutic process that is interesting, engaging and ultimately empowering. Working with children and adolescents also requires a multidisciplinary approach which can involve parents, extended family, teachers, school counselors and pediatricans in the process. Parents understand the child’s home environment and family dynamics, teachers have insights into the child’s academic and social performance at school, and pediatricians offer medical, historical and developmental perspectives. Combining these viewpoints provides a more comprehensive understanding of the child’s situation and provides information that guides the therapeutic process and ensures greater treatment efficacy across the child or adolecent's environments.
