Are you experiencing self doubt, anxiety, stress and feel stuck. Do you need to talk to someone who cares enough to listen and support you towards change you want to experience? Sharing struggles and offloading can help one see things in a different light and work towards the desired changes. Looking into past experiences, learnt behaviors and unhelpful thoughts and how they entrap us, can bring healing and set us free to pursue what we desire.

I am a registered counsellor and logotherapist working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain despite trying to make sense of their lives. I offer a calm, accepting and attentive space where we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and then move toward practical ways forward. At times, people reach a point where thinking things through on their own stops being enough, and having a structured space to untangle what’s happening becomes necessary. Therapy can help you regain clarity and a more grounded sense of direction.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
