Are you a performing artist and/or an athlete weighed down by life and its challenges? You know there's more inside you - music, lyrics, creativity, athletic and rhythmic expression - but your mind is busy or your body physically paused? All-county/-district, all-metro, or all-state athletes can experience social-emotional challenges. Similarly, lyricists or writers can experience creative blocks and singers and dancers cope with performance anxiety. Even bands, groups, and teams can experience interpersonal conflict.

Normal life events can be stressful when they exceed your ability to cope. Losses like the death of a loved one, separation/divorce, relocation or retirement, or an "empty nest" may threaten your emotional and physical health. Even positive events like marriage or the birth of a child require substantial adjustment. While small amounts of stress can be a positive motivator, prolonged exposure to stress may lead to anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to cope with the demands placed on you, it is probably time to see a therapist.

Sometimes, it feels like you just can't win. The world is becoming more complicated and nothing is easy. Sometimes, our previous traumas and experiences with shame guide our behavior; especially when we feel activated. Whether our family is estranged or our relationships have become strenuous we find ourselves looking for some type of consistency and stability.

Does anxiety keep you up at night? Do you second guess yourself & worry about people being upset with you? Are you hard on yourself when you make a mistake, but you'd never talk that way to your friends? Do you struggle with a health concern like tick-borne illnesses/OCD/PANS/PANDAS? Are you experiencing caregiver stress (caring for children/aging parents), & find yourself neglecting your needs to support a loved one while working to manage your priorities, self care, lifestyle adjustments, and the emotions that come up? Wanting to support others while caring for yourself is a challenging balance and you're in the right place.

Do you struggle with intense emotions including anger, sadness, or shame? Feelings of chronic emptiness, numbness, or existential dread? Do you struggle with impulses or destructive behavior? Feeling out of sync with others or the world? Trauma from childhood attachment wounds, abuse and neglect, chronic invalidation, and loss can manifest in difficult to understand intense emotional states, numbness, or destructive behaviors. We can carry shame around these experiences, yet often any of our present struggles can best be understood as adaptations to trauma or loss that helped us survive.

Teen 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.
