People often come to psychotherapy as an alternative to mainstream psychological treatments, in the hope of finding deeper resolutions to long standing issues. Psychotherapy indeed offers a path to resolving underlying causes of mental health or relational issues, through longer term therapy. In my practice of psychotherapy, I offer a reflective relationship, where we use the body (somatic therapy) and our relationship (interpersonal therapy), as sources of insight and change. This process can not only relieve symptoms such as anxiety or depression but also provides fundamental insights into who you are and who you might want to be.

My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and understanding. Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with me?”, I believe it is often more helpful to explore, “What happened, and how did I learn to cope with that?” Many of the challenges we experience make sense when viewed in the context of our life experiences. Together, we can gently explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, better understand what is contributing to your distress, and identify what is, and is not, serving you anymore so you can move towards a life that feels more meaningful, authentic, and aligned with your values.

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.
