Child & Teen Counseling
Sessions that come to you
In the greater Pittsburgh area
If your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, or school challenges, support is available — without rearranging your entire week.
I bring counseling to children and teens in the Greater Pittsburgh area. No extra driving. No rushing. Just meaningful, engaging support built into your real life — including optional canine-assisted sessions.
Is your child or Teen Struggling With…
School avoidance or constantly saying they feel “sick”
Emotional outbursts — or shutting down completely
Anxiety, social pressure, or academic stress
Arguing at home or self-isolating
Confidence, friendships, or self-esteem
Negative thinking or constant worry
Pressure to “keep it together” while struggling inside
When stress builds up, it affects the whole family. Early, practical support can make a meaningful difference.
How Counseling Helps
Counseling focuses on practical skills your child or teen can use in real life — not just during sessions.
Together, we work on:
Managing anxiety and overwhelming emotions
Building confidence in social and school settings
Strengthening communication at home
Developing coping strategies for stress
Increasing resilience during transitions
Sessions are developmentally appropriate, engaging, and tailored to your child’s needs.
For those who are hesitant about therapy, Archie — our trained canine co-counselor — helps create comfort and engagement. Many kids are initially drawn in by him, but it’s the growth that keeps them coming back.
