Therapy for Teens

I meet with teenagers in therapy with compassionate listening and strength-based, tactful guidance that helps to support teens to thrive as their best and most authentic selves.

Of course, most teens don’t begin therapy because they want to be their best, rather they are likely at one of the lowest moments they have ever experienced. Having never been through something like this they may feel panic or hopelessness.

Therapy for teens can help normalize and transform feelings despair and hopelessness that all of us feel occasionally. I teach teens how to find their way through difficult emotions so they can maintain a path towards healthy relationships and success.

Teen Counseling

Teen therapy tends to focus on social anxiety, solving emotional challenges, having better relationships, and improving peer connections.

Of course, each person is unique and some challenges can feel overwhelming. I will adapt to meet you where you are—even if that means meeting you at a very low place so that we can move beyond it.

If it is right for you, we can explore themes related to intimate relationships, purpose, healthy sexual or gender expression, boundaries, friendships, parents, loyalty, bullying, athletics, substance use, gaming, and academics.

The best Therapist for teens

It is important that teens in therapy feel understood, supported, and encouraged. They should feel like they are working with someone who gets them and helps them.

I work with teens with anxiety, depression, anger, social isolation, adhd, and addiction issues.

As a therapist for teens I use interpersonal human connection, real talk, and humor to meet teens in a language they understand.

I offer consultations that allow for teenagers or their parents to ensure that I am the right fit. If I am not the perfect fit I will help to find that person for you or your teen.
