Our Therapists

Roniqua Zimmermann, LCSW
Child & Adolescent Therapist | Practice Owner
I specialize in working with young children ages 2 to 7 and their families, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges with compassion and care. I believe parents are the experts on their children, and I partner closely with families to build stronger connections, improve communication, and support healthy emotional growth.
Using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach, I create a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe, understood, and empowered to express themselves. Together, we strengthen parent-child relationships, develop emotional regulation and social skills, and create positive, lasting changes that foster confidence, connection, and resilience.

Moya Perez, MSW
Child & Adolescent Therapist
I believe children and teens do best when they feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My goal is to create a warm and comfortable space where clients can be themselves while learning healthy ways to manage emotions, navigate challenges, and build confidence. I enjoy working with children and teens experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, school stress, peer or family challenges, and life transitions.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique personality and needs, incorporating DBT-informed strategies, coping skills development, creative interventions, and supportive talk therapy. I also value building strong relationships with parents and caregivers and believe that feeling understood and supported can make a meaningful difference in a child or teen’s growth and healing.

Child & Adolescent Therapist
"Listening is a very deep kind of giving."
— Mr. Rogers
Choosing the right therapist for your child is an important step, and I strive to create a space where children feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with children and adolescents ages 2 to 18, helping them navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, emotional regulation, and behavioral challenges through a compassionate, strengths-based approach.
Using play-based interventions, bibliotherapy, and positive psychology techniques, I help children express their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and develop confidence in themselves. I also believe parents are essential partners in the therapeutic process and work closely with families to support lasting growth both at home and in therapy.
My goal is to help every child and family feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools they need to thrive together.
