Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I have postdoctoral specialty training in Pediatric Psychology from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am known for my ability to quickly build rapport with teenagers and their caregivers. I am straightforward in my approach and believe that therapy, although hard work, can also be lighthearted and even fun at times. I am interested in understanding teens as their whole individual selves, and not just their presenting concerns. I work to develop a safe confidential space for teens to explore their complex worlds and emotional lives, and collaborate with caregivers when needed. I am experienced working with gifted, neurodiverse, and highly sensitive teenagers.

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.
