Child Counseling is a type of therapy that focuses on young children, teens, and adolescents with one or more mental illness. It also provides aid to youths, who have experienced trauma, and/or who are experiencing a dysfunctional or stressful home environment. Many of the issues these children face mimicking the issues adults face in their day-to-day lives. Some of these common issues include anxiety, depression, and grief. The goal of child counseling, however, is to break down problems into manageable parts, so children can better understand and cope with them.
At Kemp Individual & Family Therapy, Inc. we have trained and licensed professionals who will offer invaluable insight into your child’s social and emotional development and mental health. These individuals have the knowledge and expertise to recognize, identify, pinpoint, assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, adjustment issues (divorce, new school, bullying, grief, etc.), and psychological distress. More specifically, our child counselors have been trained to “get into the minds of children,” so they can help them make sense of what is going on in their minds, bodies, and lives
Hello, my name is Stan. I understand that life isn't always easy. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are difficult to manage. Asking for help isn't easy, so I applaud you for taking the first step and seeking a therapist.

Navigating life’s transitions can feel exhausting at times, and it can feel like our regular methods of coping aren’t helping as much, or we are worried about judgment when reaching out to others. My belief is that therapy is that it is not a one-size fits all approach and sometimes it can be a process to find the right fit to feel understood.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology in 1998 from Cal State San Bernardino and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University in 2009. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2019. Prior to being licensed, I provided therapy under supervision as an associate Marriage and Family Therapist for four years in a recovery setting with adults. Prior to my career transition into therapy, I worked in Public Health and have had the privilege to work with people from varied backgrounds and life situations. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my education or experience.

Life was once described to me as a dark room full of furniture, walking through it while occasionally stumbling upon various pieces that you were unaware were there. Sometimes, while walking with purpose towards your destination, you’ll unexpectedly hit your pinky toe on a sharp corner of a table and experience excruciating pain. Psychotherapy was then described to me as walking through that dark room with a candle light, slowly finding out what pieces of furniture are placed in your path and how to walk around them, while slowly placing candles along your way. I am optimistically hopeful that venturing together on this journey of self-discovery, you’ll find the experience of lighting candles along your way to be a fulfilling one that provides you with meaning and purpose.
