Therapists for Teens in 55426

I place emphasis on building an authentic therapeutic relationship, motivating sustainable change, and valuing cultural and spiritual differences. I believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives. I am interested in working collaboratively with clients to leverage their inner strengths, embrace their humanness, and navigate life’s challenges.

I specialize in working with school-aged children, teens, adults, and parents struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, life transitions, parenting and relationship challenges, and trauma. My priority is for each person to feel deeply heard, understood, and supported in making positive changes toward a joy-filled life. I view people through a holistic lens and address all areas of life including body, mind, community, and spiritual orientation.

Life can be hard. You may worry too much. Maybe you have difficulty finding the energy to do what you need to do. Or saying things that you regret later. Maybe you have trouble concentrating and focusing. And sometimes the hopes and dreams you have for the future don't always turn out the way you expected. When these things happen, you may forget how to draw on your strengths and capabilities to make things different for yourself. I can help you rediscover strengths as well as develop new, effective strategies for bringing back your joy for living and having deeper, more meaningful relationships.

When you visit a BHSI clinic, you can expect skilled, compassionate and collaborative care.

There are countless reasons why people seek therapy – whether it’s the daily stressors of life, relationship struggles, or painful experiences and emotions.  Challenges are a part of life, and no one is immune to them. Sometimes these challenges become too much to bear on our own, or we find that our efforts to solve the problem simply aren’t working. No matter your reason for seeking therapy, know that I will do my best to support you and understand the challenges you face.

Are you noticing patterns in the way you react, behave, and feel in response to people in your life? Are you tired of feeling stuck in an emotional loop that sometimes feels out of your control? Do you experience anxiety, depression, or difficulty connecting with others?

Seeking a life that is authentic and vibrant to you can feel far-fetched when you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns of thoughts or behaviors. Whether you have had experiences with therapy in the past or this is your first time reaching out and seeking support, it takes bravery and grit to open up to someone new and say, “I don’t have all the answers”.

Founded in 1993 by Dr. Jeanette Vought, NewPath Mental Health Services (NPMHS) provides professional mental health services, incorporating Christian faith for those desiring it, to individuals who have experienced abuse or trauma.

Sandra Streitman, Ph. D. is a clinical neuropsychologist with interest in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders such as ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, mood and anxiety disorders, and pervasive developmental (autism spectrum) disorders. She specializes in neuropsychology testing and evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. She integrates neurocognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects of these disorders in order help parents better understand and manage the behaviors. She also evaluates intellectually gifted children with accompanying learning and attention issues, and children with seizures, and traumatic brain injuries.

Are you or your child experiencing challenges navigating the complexities of life? I specialize in working with a diverse range of clients, spanning from pre-K age to young adults, with a unique experience of working in schools. If you or your loved one is grappling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, facing difficulties in adjusting to life transitions, dealing with relationship challenges, or encountering hurdles in school, you've come to the right place. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space where children and young adults can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.

I provide therapy through a strengths-based, trauma-focused lens, and view each person as a resilient individual system capable of developing agency of their lived story and gaining mastery of their whole self. My clients include individuals and families living with challenges complicated by mental illness, emotional and behavioral disorders, trauma and family violence. My therapy services and community provider trainings are designed to provide an holistic and trauma-informed, culturally-attuned approach to understanding and healing from the abuse and trauma affecting individuals, relationships, families and systems.

Are you struggling? Are aspects of their life overwhelming and you don't know how to deal with it? Are you feeling stuck and don't know what the next step is? I aim to help you find your strengths and problem solve to succeed in your life goals. I can show you skills to improve your relationships, while also exploring how you can apply them in daily life. I genuinely care for my clients and like to add an aspect of fun to every relationship I have. I work as a team with my therapy dog, Annie, and she is just as excited to see each person make improvements in their lives.

Jocelyn has worked in higher education as a collegiate coach, educator and mentor for over a decade at universities across the nation. Additionally, she trained with sports psychologist, Dr. Christina Heilman (Driggs, ID). She sees mental health as functioning on a continuum and believes that looking at the whole person/system is crucial to healing; a process that comes from within and can be enhanced with a therapeutic relationship. Her areas of interest include: anxiety related to social and school pressures, as well as work/social life balance and transition. She is also interested in therapy for trauma related to loss and major life transitions.

Are you struggling with fatigue, disrupted eating patterns, or a diminished sex drive? Are your relationships feeling strained, or are you navigating a challenging life transition? Perhaps you're questioning the value of therapy. We will create a space together that slows everything down, leaning into the remarkable tools of curiosity and authenticity. We will parse it all out and build a map through the chaos and exhaustion. We'll create strategies to encourage joy and stability, ultimately seeking peaceful energy and a healthy hunger for life’s experiences.

Some people enter therapy with a specific problem they want to solve. Others are interested in achieving a broader goal such as psychological growth and understanding. I am happy to help you define and work towards a goal which best meets your needs. My specialties include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems (eg. assertiveness, , intimacy issues, anger management) and self-esteem issues. In my work I draw from my training in cognitive-behavior therapy, family systems approaches, Ericksonian hypnosis, Buddhist psychology and mindfulness meditation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Immediate openings available. Life can be hard and when it is, you may feel alone but you don't have to. Have you or your child felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, hopeless, or angry? Have you wondered where all of these feelings come from? Do you or your child have trouble concentrating on one thing at a time? Do you ever wonder what is happening to your child? Or, do you just want to talk to someone who will listen? If you have answered yes to any of these questions: I can help you. I create a safe space to work through all of those feelings.

My experience includes working with children and adolescents who have a history of abuse, dealing with emotional difficulties (including anxiety and depression), and working with life transitions. I have worked with children and adolescents in an inpatient psychiatric hospital setting providing crisis support and dealing with concerns related to suicide, self-harm, or aggression toward others. I have worked with adults who have been diagnosed with mood disorders, personality disorders, and medical concerns. I have experience working with many diverse populations and am mindful when working with patients.

When we reach our lowest point, an encouraging hand can bring about hope from despair. That is the heart and soul of the work I aim to provide. With each new year, we learn more about the important effects intimate relationships, interpersonal connections, and existential satisfaction have upon our personal health and wellness. Fulfilling connections with family, friends, and our communities often lead to improved health, happiness, and longevity.

I partner with clients to nurture healing, growth, and resiliency. In every instance, I will take time to ascertain how to evoke my clients’ strengths, helping them effectively mobilize their own capabilities. In this way, every person I work with ends up with practiced skill sets of their own to take with them after therapy has concluded.
