Juliana Lewellen, MS, NCC

Child and Teen Therapist

Hi, I’m Juliana!

There’s a common misconception that children don’t have much to stress about, and therefore don’t have complex emotions. However, young people can have BIG feelings!

Whether it be anxiety about the future, self esteem, difficulties socializing and managing conflict with peers, or frustrations in the home and school setting, these stressors can be overwhelming for kids and teens! 

My job is to help my clients identify these feelings.

For kids, I utilize play therapy which creates a safe space. This allows me to bond with your child to help them find the tools to work through their struggles.

For teens, I help them identify triggers and develop skills such as conflict resolution and assertiveness training.

For all clients, I focus on building confidence and learning healthy coping skills.

For parents and families, I offer regular parent or family sessions so that we can stay in the loop and discuss your child’s progress, and also improve communication between family members.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical & Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College and received clinical experience while there. Upon graduation, I received my NCC and started in the private practice field. I have been with Amel Counseling ever since. I now have over 5 years of experience working with kids, teens, and families.

Additionally, I am client-centered and operate from the strengths-based approach. With the focus primarily on your child’s and your family’s greatest strengths and positive attributes, your child or teen can feel empowered in their ability to achieve their goals. Your child gets to steer the ship and determine what they want to get out of therapy. This is important to instill a sense of hope in your child, which truly is what Amel is all about!

Hope is an essential ingredient to motivate the client to be active in treatment!
