Trish R Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with
children
/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in
children
/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.

Lauren E. Holmes
MA, PhD
Parents can hold shame, self-reproach, frustration, and helplessness over a
child
’s distress;
children
fear, disgrace, anger, disquiet. Such dynamics summon my expertise. Mood disturbance, anxiety, panic, and maladjustment manifest as aversion to separation, school refusal, flawed coping mechanisms, pervasive woe. My approach allows vulnerability to speak. Individuals emerge from our process prepared to ably navigate their world by developing and honing effective strategies to ameliorate symptoms. More profoundly, they are empowered to not just push through travail, but to mindfully sit with it long enough to seed proper growth.

Amy Tielemans & Associates
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA, MA
Verified
When working with
children
and adolescents, I encourage parents to learn to work and communicate with their
child
or teen.
I work with individuals, couples and families. It doesn't matter how many people are sitting in the office, I view each individual within the context of the systems they live in each day. We are all part of many systems, marital, family, school, community, work. The relationships and importance each of these systems place on individuals can sometimes can lead to breakdowns in communication and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Treating the dysfunction in the relationship often restores the feeling of wholeness in an individual and of course leads to stronger deeper relationships between individuals.
Faye Lovrinic
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I view each
child
, teen, young adult, and family as unique. That uniqueness is why I draw from different therapy modalities to support emotional well-being.

Our joint effort can help you attain the freedom to make positive choices in your life. I bring clinical experience offered in a genuine, nonjudgmental, confidential atmosphere. Drawing from cognitive behavior approaches, insight therapy, and mindfulness practice, my goal is to provide tools to help you in improving your state of mind.
