Child & Teen Counseling legend, Katherine MacLeod, has officially completed her training with us and is heading off to build a practice closer to home in the South Bay. We’re so excited for her next chapter and yes, very sad to say goodbye.

During her time at CTC, Katherine truly did it all. She led our High School Girls Group, supported students through our Therapy on Campus Program, and carried a full client caseload in our office, all while being a full-time student and juggling a part-time job. (Seriously impressive.)

A few weeks ago, we sat down with this exceptional person to reflect on her time at Child & Teen Counseling. In this short video, she shares what she loved most about being here and some of the accomplishments she’s most proud of. Go give it a watch, we think you’ll love it.

Thank you Katherine MacLeod!

If your child has recently come out or is questioning their gender identity, you might be surprised to learn that your experience and your child’s may have more in common than you think.

In this video, Jasmine shares what she hopes parents and caregivers understand as they navigate this journey.

Family Transformations is a six-session virtual support group beginning in January. The group is designed to help parents build confidence, deepen understanding, and develop practical tools to best support their children. The $225 fee includes all six sessions.

In this video, Maya shares something we wish more parents understood: you, dear parent, play an equally important role in your child’s therapy.

Parent meetings and family sessions aren’t just helpful, they’re powerful tools for building healthier communication, supporting your child’s growth, and giving them space to develop their own voice and autonomy.

Therapy isn’t only for the child… it’s a family process.

When parents join the work, kids feel safer, more supported, and more understood.

David Muns and Reynee Small are therapist trainees at Child & Teen Counseling in Woodland Hills, supervised by Kent Toussaint, LMFT.

In this video, they share what they see their clients struggling with most.

From playing games to making slime, it’s all about connecting with kids where they’re at: through play, creativity, and genuine connection.

At Child & Teen Counseling, we believe therapy should feel safe, engaging, and relatable. When kids feel understood, they open up — and that’s where growth begins.

If your child or teen could use extra support, we’re here to help.

Learn more or schedule a free phone consultation at ChildTeenCounseling.Org or call (818) 912-6001.

Affordable therapy. Real connection.

The Therapy on Campus program at our nonprofit, Child & Teen Counseling, provides counseling and emotional support for our local historically underserved communities.

$30 covers the cost of one therapy session for a student.

Last year we provided 495 free sessions at three local partner schools. You donation will help us meet and exceed that number this year!

Therapy is free for students and schools, but it costs us to run the program.

For the majority of youth we serve, we are their only mental health resource.
Please consider making a donation today so that we can keep growing the impact of our Therapy on Campus Program.
