Therapists for Teens in 43085

I have worked extensively with children and adolescent development, trauma and grief, pastoral care and spiritual abuse/recovery, women’s issues, gender transitioning, depression, anxiety, as well as major life transitions. I enjoy working with a diverse population and helping individuals find creative outlets that encourage confidence and empowerment within themselves.

I welcome your interest and courage in seeking a therapist. Our work together will help you explore, understand, and master your difficulties. Often, we are not aware of what causes our struggles and that makes it hard to change. We will engage collaboratively to awaken your awareness in order to better choose how you feel and act. I am a trained School Psychologist and licensed Marriage, Family&Child Therapist w/postgraduate training in health psychology from Stanford and 18 yrs of clinical experience spanning from schools, to clinics, and colleges. I work primarily w/adults and kids on anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Sometimes life feels unmanageable. We try to reach our goals; however, encounter numerous obstacles. I believe we all have the power to progress, change, and grow. Sometimes talking with a professional helps to clarify the next step in that journey. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I will work with you to explore your feelings, identify challenges to your ongoing success, clearly define your goals, and develop a plan to move forward. My approach is holistic, open, honest, and direct. Clients will be welcomed with an empathetic and respectful environment where you will receive support and encouragement.

I provide individual and group counseling services as well as educational programs across the life span. I operate from an existential, humanistic, person-centered philosophy that emphasizes meaning in one's life, self-actualization, responsibility, and relationships. I view counseling from a tripartite approach where I assist my clients with self-awareness, gaining knowledge, and developing strategies to manage effectively and successfully the various transitions they are experiencing in their lives. I employ my diverse training and integrate a multiplicity of therapeutic interventions that yield optimum results for the individual.

In my practice, I pair a person-centered, strength-based focus with cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.

Restoring peace of mind and and joy back into your relationship with your child and in your home. I look forward to speaking with you to discuss how I can help.

Mental health issues that affect learning, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, poor social skills, behavioral issues, stress management, poor organization skills, learning disabilities, self-esteem issues, and poor "adulting" skills are the most critical issues I evaluate for and/or treat. My primary services are psychological testing/diagnosis and counseling. I accept clients ages 3+ but specialize in working with ages 12+.

Thanks for checking out my profile. I work with folks from all walks of life throughout the state, including teenagers and adults. I have experience with women's issues, life transitions, shame, addiction, perfectionism, personality disorders, economic stress, loneliness, and caregiving. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative and Psychodynamic Therapies. Because each client's concerns and goals are different, treatment is tailored to the individual.

Life is about patterns. We do the same things day after day because they help us function without having to concentrate on every little thing we do. That helps us in many ways, but it can also make us drift away from each other. Without knowing how we got there, we wake up one day wondering who our partner really is or what happened to the kids. That’s where therapy comes in – it helps reconnect couples and families so they can build new patterns that bring them together, not push them apart.

How long has it been since you felt like yourself? Has it been so long that you've nearly forgotten who the real "you" is? The pain of depression, anxiety, and traumatic memories do not have to steal your joy. Together we can process that pain in a way that allows you to understand it better and move past it. My experience working with college students in university settings and with new parents experiencing perinatal and maternal mental health concerns gives me passion and insight into the specific needs and issues facing these phases of life.

Are you experiencing challenges in your life? Have you ever thought that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, or learning disabilities were preventing you from reaching your potential?

Many things can affect our ability to perform in our daily lives, yet often we don't know what is wrong.
