Are you struggling with dating or relationship issues? Are you experiencing anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, or finding a lack of meaning in life? I'm here to help. My interest in becoming a helping professional began in high school when I was looking for someone to guide me through my issues as a teenager. After seeing the overwhelmingly positive impact counseling had on me, I made it my passion and mission to return the favor to others. I have worked in the private practice setting for the past 3 and a half years and have helped clients from all walks of life, and specialize in the aforementioned areas.

Life can feel like the weight of the world, our challenges, our families, and our relationships are bearing down on us as if they are all resting squarely on our shoulders. This burden can quickly become overwhelming and profoundly disheartening. If you can relate to this sensation, please know that you are far from alone, and your strength is not in question. Countless individuals grapple with these intense and immense emotions daily. This struggle can manifest as depression, anxiety, difficulty regulating emotions, anger, and even thoughts of self-harm or suicide, among other things.

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.
