Our clinicians.
Therapy for tweens and teens, plus psychological, neuropsychological, and educational evaluations.
Janie Venturina, LMFT
Child, tween, and teen therapist
After-school and weekend times
Janie Venturina helps tweens and teens manage anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, friendship drama, and school stress, and she helps families break the cycle of conflict at home. She uses CBT and DBT skills to help young people name what they feel, handle it in healthier ways, and speak up for themselves with friends, teachers, and parents. Before joining our team, she worked as a school-based therapist at The Help Group. She offers after-school, evening, and Saturday appointments, and new families can often start the same week.
Jason Feldman, PhD
Licensed clinical psychologist
Dr. Jason Feldman provides comprehensive neuropsychological and learning evaluations for children, teens, and young adults who struggle with attention, learning, organization, or emotions. His evaluations show families how a child's mind works, where the struggle comes from, and what will help at home and school. Trained in pediatric neuropsychology at the UCLA Semel Institute, he also brings years of experience in evidence-based treatment, so every report ends with concrete recommendations that parents and schools can put to use right away.
Erin Adelchanow, M.Ed.
Licensed educational psychologist
Erin is a strong fit for families looking to better understand how their child learns and what may be getting in the way of success at school. With expertise in dyslexia, learning disabilities, ADHD, and executive functioning, she helps uncover each child's unique pattern of strengths and challenges. Erin combines comprehensive assessment with practical recommendations and school advocacy, helping parents understand what their child needs and how to effectively support them at home and at school.
