Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In my practice, I adopt a holistic approach to addressing the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents. By integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral techniques, and parent management training, I ensure that each intervention is grounded in evidence-based practices. Working closely with children and teens, I help them identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their difficulties, empowering them to make positive changes in their lives.

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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Karina Suero
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It’s so difficult to live life. Do you find that nobody understands you? Are you keeping all inside, because you are afraid that if you express it that can destroy people that matters to you? Do you feel you are a burden for your family? It is difficult to understand how to relate to your friends and parents and you might find yourself hiding in your room, in your phone for hours and hours. Do you find that social life is a jungle? School does not teach how to understand oneself or how to understand the world. Perhaps you know that something is just not right and you have no words to describe it.
This is a very challenging world. A lot of new things need to be learnt and a lot of old, wise things have been forgotten. I can help you to understand yourself and to communicate better with yourself and with the world around you and be the interpreter for you with your parents and with your school. I can help you to build bridges that connect you with people and with your passions. I can help you develop ways to handle the stress, to take care of your own body, to ask questions with curiosity, to find a way to grow and develop and be the best self that you can be. I can help you find your voice. I would love to be doing that with you.

Lisa Vespico-Mull
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
I have worked with children and adolescents for many years. I really enjoy working with adolescents and am typically able to gain rapport easily. The youngest child I will see will be ten or above due to my services being online only at this time. I always involve parents in the treatment and progress as well as diagnosis and impressions when allowed of course by the teenager. I believe it is important to create a safe space for the child or teenager to share but I also believe that family involvement is essential.
