We are all influenced by our past, but our past doesn't have to dictate our future. My process involves a quick look back at where we've been, an assessment of where we are now, and goal setting for where we want to be next. The world is a challenging place and many of us need a little help to navigate our psychological and emotional hurdles. There is no judgment here - just a safe place to connect with a professional, learn about yourself, and develop strategies for moving forward.

Most women worry about making sure everything is okay for everyone else but who takes care of you? Who do you speak to about the trauma you've experienced, the things that’ve hurt you, or your experience as a new mother? There are some things that you may experience that only another woman can understand. You may appear to be happy outwardly, however behind the smile is a persistent feeling of sadness, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and fear. Don’t allow Trauma, Depression, or Anxiety to continue to rule your life. It’s time for you to be kind to yourself and begin to resolve anything that’s holding you back.

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.
