When choosing a counselor for yourself or your child, what is the single most important quality you look for?

Is it compassion? Trustworthiness? Patience? Experience? The ability to truly listen?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer - but feeling safe, understood, and supported can make all the difference in the counseling experience.

Share your answer in the comments - we’d love to hear what matters most to you. 💚

👋🏼 Meet Faye Caraballo, LPA

We are so grateful to have Faye as part of the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing team.

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Faye provides compassionate, evidence-based support for children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, behavioral concerns, family transitions, depression, panic, and life’s many seasons of change.

Faye has a special gift for helping children feel safe, understood, and empowered. Through play-based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and close collaboration with parents and caregivers, she helps families build practical skills that create meaningful and lasting change.

One of the beliefs that guides her work says it beautifully:

🍃 “I believe that children should be seen, heard, and believed. They are to be cherished.”

Whether supporting a young child learning emotional regulation, a teen navigating life’s challenges, or a family seeking greater connection and stability, Faye brings warmth, wisdom, and practical tools that foster hope and healing.

If you or someone you love could benefit from counseling, we’d be honored to walk a

👋🏼 Meet Allyson (Ally) Mattingly, LCSWA

When children feel safe, understood, and accepted, incredible growth can happen. 🌿

That belief is at the heart of Ally’s work.

Ally is passionate about supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate grief, anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, and life’s many transitions.

She understands that children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. That’s why she incorporates developmentally appropriate approaches such as art, movement, music, storytelling, and creative play to help young clients express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills in ways that feel natural and engaging.

Before joining the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, Ally provided grief and hospice support to children and families facing profound loss and medical complexity. That experience continues to shape the gentle, compassionate, and grounded care she brings to every session.

Whether a child is processing grief, managing anxiety, adjusting to change, or simply needs a safe place to be themselves, Ally strives to create a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

As Ally shares,

“Working with children means watching them discover confidence in their strengths and safety in being themselves.”

We’re grateful to have Ally as part of our team and honored that so many children and families trust her with their care.

💚 If your child could leave every counseling session feeling one thing, what would you hope it would be?

Meet Our Pediatric Counselors 💚

Behind every child who walks through our doors or meets with us online is a family looking for hope, understanding, and support.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, our pediatric counseling team is passionate about creating a safe, welcoming space where children, teens, and families feel seen, heard, and understood.

Every child is different, which is why we believe counseling should never be one-size-fits-all.

Our team provides support for children and families navigating:

🌿 Anxiety & worry
🌿 Grief & loss
🌿 Trauma
🌿 Emotional regulation
🌿 Family transitions
🌿 Self-esteem & confidence
🌿 School challenges
🌿 ADD/ADHD evaluations & support
🌿 Life changes

Whether a child is struggling with overwhelming emotions, adjusting to a major life change, or simply needs a safe place to process what they’re experiencing, our goal is to meet them where they are with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care.

This is just the beginning.

Over the next few posts, we’ll introduce you to the incredible pediatric counselors who have the privilege of walking alongside children and families every day. We can’t wait for you to meet them.

Behind every child who walks through the door is a family looking for hope, understanding, and support.

Choosing a counselor is about more than credentials. It’s about finding someone your child feels safe with and someone your family can trust.

Every child is different.

Some need space to process grief. Others are navigating anxiety, life transitions, emotional regulation, family changes, or challenges they don’t yet have the words to explain.

The right counselor creates a space where children feel heard, accepted, and supported while helping parents feel equipped every step of the way.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, we believe counseling should be personalized because every child’s story is unique.

In our next post, we’ll introduce you to the caring pediatric counselors who have the privilege of walking alongside children and families every day.

💚 If counseling could help your child with just one thing right now, what would you hope it would be?

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing!

Today, we are wishing our community a safe, peaceful, and meaningful holiday filled with connection, gratitude, and moments of rest.

As we reflect on freedom, we are also reminded of the importance of emotional freedom - the space to heal, to feel, to grow, and to move forward with hope.

Whether you are celebrating with family, spending time with friends, or taking the day quietly, we hope you feel supported and cared for.

Choosing a counselor for your child is a big decision.

You are trusting someone with the thoughts, feelings, challenges, and experiences that matter most to your family.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, our pediatric counselors are passionate about helping children feel safe, supported, and understood.

Through play, conversation, creativity, and connection, we help children navigate challenges such as:

🌿 Anxiety and worry
🌿 Grief and loss
🌿 Emotional regulation
🌿 Life transitions
🌿 Family changes
🌿 Self-esteem and confidence

Every child is unique, and we believe counseling should be, too.

Our goal is not to change who your child is.

Our goal is to help them better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to thrive.

We are honored to walk alongside children and families during life’s most difficult moments and celebrate growth along the way.

💚 What helps your child feel most safe, understood, and supported?

Many parents tell us the same thing:

“I think counseling could help, but I have no idea how to talk to my child about it.”

The good news is that you don’t need to have all the right words.

Children often take their cues from us. When counseling is presented as something normal, supportive, and helpful, they’re much more likely to feel comfortable with the idea.

Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, focus on the support your child will receive.

You might say:

💚 “Everyone needs support sometimes.”

💚 “This is a safe place where kids can talk about their feelings, worries, and challenges.”

💚 “You’re not in trouble.”

💚 “We’re doing this because we care about you.”

Counseling isn’t a punishment, and it isn’t a sign that a child has failed.

It’s another form of support, just like tutoring helps with learning or a coach helps build new skills.

The goal isn’t to change who your child is.

It’s to help them feel understood, build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges with the support they deserve.

💚 What changes in your child have been hardest for you to understand lately?

Exciting news for families in our community!

The Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing is now in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Home, the UNC Health Alliance network plan.

Our team provides counseling for children, teens, adults, and families navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, emotional challenges, and more.

Our goal as a practice is to continue making compassionate, quality mental health care as accessible as possible for the families we serve.

If you or your child has Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Home through the UNC Health Alliance network and have been looking for support, please reach out to our office. We would be happy to help you explore next steps and verify plan details.
