I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2000, and my Masters in Business Administration in Marketing from Drexel University in 2004. After having my first child, I knew I wanted to help other women navigate the journey of family planning and I enrolled in my mentor’s MFT program. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Alliant International University with a Masters of Arts in Child and Family Therapy in 2022. Leaning into my village, we welcomed our second child while I was in school. I completed my practicum at Liberation Institute, providing accessible mental health services to clients in San Francisco and through out California.

Garie Connell

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Online & In-Person

What's your experience with children or adolescents?

For over 20 years, I have worked with children and families. I have treated teens, tweens, children, and young children. The key to success in treatment is not only to understand children or teens but also to partner with parents. When parents are supported, children function better. Depending on the child's age and the reason for treatment, I will make recommendations to those most important in their life so adults will know what to expect regarding treatment and outcomes. Children and teens may need help going through a tough time and can't cope alone. Parenting can be difficult and stressful. My work actively balances the needs of children or teens with that of parents. Treatment with me can benefit the whole family as we learn, communicate, and create solutions. Some sessions will be individual where youth can confidentially play or talk, do activities, practice new skills and solve problems. Other sessions will require adult-only meetings and sometimes for everyone to meet together. Each family situation is distinct, and the relationship with children or adolescents is my focus to address why therapy is needed. Throughout the treatment process, I will strive to help parents realize opportunities unique to development, the individual child, and relationships.

Are your child's struggles keeping you up at night? I am committed to your and your family's mental health and well-being. We can find solutions that work for everyone together!

Summer Vilkins

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Online & In-Person

What's your experience with children or adolescents?

The majority of my experience is working with children and adolescents. As a former classroom teacher, a school based therapist and now in my private practice, I take a creative approach with consideration to the young client's social emotional development. I see my young clients as neither "good" nor "bad" - I leave the "problems" at the door and see my young clients as developing human beings who are trying to figure out this world (like the rest of us). I prefer for the child's caring adult to be involved in the process and offer parenting resources as needed.

Hey there! I’m Summer and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, serving all of California virtually through Telehealth. In my practice, I take a collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based approach toward healing. Honoring each client’s personal needs and intersecting identities is one of my top priorities and creates a foundation for my work. Through incorporating expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodiment, I empower you to explore and identify the patterns and behaviors that are no longer serving you. Being a therapist brings me so much joy, and I feel that it’s an honor and a privilege to walk with people during their most vulnerable moments.

Kalisha Crone

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

What's your experience with children or adolescents?

The majority of my work in the clinical field has been with children and adolescents. As a former school counselor I have received training in play therapy, trauma informed practices, dialectical behavior therapy, age appropriate cognitive behavioral therapy, and sand tray therapy. Providing therapy to children and adolescents has been some of the most inspirational work that I have done. Children and adolescents are incredibly resilient and able to recover from trauma, grief, and life changes in astonishing rates when they are provided with the necessary resources and tools to assist them. Witnessing the emotional healing and growth of a child is a powerful and humbling experience that I have been honored to have.

Hi, I'm Kalisha Crone and I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about supporting communities of color and helping all of my clients improve their overall well-being. My life’s journey paired with my education has afforded me countless learning opportunities that have shaped me into the therapist that I am today. I use techniques such as mindfulness, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral interventions to create a safe space for my clients to process, reflect, learn, grow and eventually go forth on their own. I believe in the power of resilience and I understand that in sharing our stories and receiving the validation that we deserve we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction, while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics. Please feel free to contact me for a free consult to see if we are a good fit!
