Our work with children
We support the positive development of children through enriching therapeutic services. Examples of areas that we address in counseling include behavioral challenges, anxiety, school avoidance, and grief and loss.
For parents
Booking for your child: use the Request an appointment button and choose a clinician who sees children, or call us at (678) 989-4267.
What a child's first visit is like: it's an intake session, where we get to know your child and what brings you in. How it goes depends on your child's age.
How a parent is involved: you give consent before your child's first session. After that, we might meet your child first and you afterward, meet all of you together, or talk with you separately. Teens often come in on their own first.
From what age we see children: Joy Kelleher from age 6, Maria Ibarra from age 5, Ainsley Nguyen from age 10.
Our work with teens
Young people receive tailored services and support designed to help them navigate the sometimes turbulent yet dynamic stage of adolescence. Teens seek support for a variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, stress management, and self-expression.
