I believe that is possible by providing a foundation of stability, inclusivity, support, belonging, and safety in our therapeutic relationship.

I work primarily with men of all ages, teens, and parents of teens. Each client is unique, therefore my approach is individualized for each client. I view issues through the lens of trauma (any event that changes the way you perceive yourself or the world around you). People are resilient and adapt, but often form maladaptive coping strategies in efforts to meet real and legitimate needs. A part of the counseling process is identifying the barriers that are keeping you stuck in order to move forward in a healthier way! I look forward to talking with you as you begin your journey! I provide free 20-30 minute phone consultations.

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.
