Does your child come home from school and unleash a meltdown worthy of an Oscar? Homework battles? Friendship dramas?

What you really want is less chaos, more calm, and to feel like yourself (and your family) again. We get it—we’re parents and humans too, and we know life doesn’t always go to plan.

Adjusting to change is one of the hardest things to do. Whether it is because of an intentional or purposeful change, or it is completely out of your control, finding your way safely to a place of balance and "normality" again can sometimes feel impossible. That change could be triggered by something really devastating, like losing a life partner or child, difficult relationships, poor mental health, a traumatic incident or event, illness or disability. Or maybe homelessness, job loss, migration. Or it could be something that only you see as problematic. All triggers are equally valid. Wherever there is change there is usually loss.

My ideal client feels stuck in relationship conflict, grief, or cultural tension. Whether navigating marriage struggles, multicultural parenting, or reconciling faith with pain, they often feel isolated.

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.
