Are you an adult experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, or depression? Or are you worried about your child or your teenager going through a difficult time? Whether you are seeking help for yourself as an adult or a parent or for your young one, it is never too late to make a positive change. In my practice, I enjoy working with clients of all ages and strategically adapting to their individual needs. Some of these range from academic challenges that may require a formal psychoeducational assessment to relationship difficulties, emotional or behavioural dysregulation, or mood and anxiety symptomatology.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. In my work with children we play, because for a child play is a way of making sense of his/her world and expressing what is of vital importance to them. The elements of play are clues that communicate what the child feels, what they hope for, and where the conflict is in their world that is troubling them. My work with adolescents leans more towards talk therapy. I engage with adolescent with the aim of helping them reflect on their own mind, the minds of others, helping them grasp what is stable during a time of shifting self image.

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.
