Anxiety & School Stress
From test anxiety to social pressure, we help young people develop the tools to navigate the demands of school and friendships with confidence.
Our Services
Children & Teens
In person in Sacramento & Gold River. Virtually throughout California.
Therapy for children and teens at Pinnacle is developmentally attuned, attachment-based, and built in partnership with parents. We work with young people on anxiety, mood, behavioral concerns, family transitions, and the long arc of growing up.
What we work on.
Behavioral Concerns
When emotional regulation feels out of reach, we work alongside families to understand the patterns and build sustainable strategies for change.
Major Life Transitions
Divorce, loss, relocation, or new family configurations — therapy gives children a private space to process change at their own pace.
Adolescent Identity
The teen years bring profound shifts in self-understanding. We support the developmental work of figuring out who you are, with privacy and respect.
Family Dynamics
When sibling tension, parent-child conflict, or communication patterns are at the heart of the struggle, we help everyone find their footing.
Mood & Withdrawal
We approach low mood, withdrawal, and depression in young people through developmentally attuned care that takes their experience seriously.

Care across every stage.
Care across every developmental stage
From early childhood through pre-teen and adolescence, our work is tailored to where your child is — emotionally, cognitively, and developmentally. We meet them at their level, not the other way around.
Parents as partners in the work
We see therapy with young people as a shared project. Parents are looped in with regular communication, parenting strategies, and clear understanding of how to support the work — without compromising your child's privacy or trust.
Skills that grow with them
The emotional intelligence and self-regulation skills children develop in therapy compound over years. Our goal is not just immediate relief, but lasting tools — for navigating school, friendships, family, and adulthood.
