A child’s behavior is telling a story of what is going on inside. Many times, when our kids are reaching out for connection, they will behave in ways that create the opposite response. When a child is struggling to find positive ways to relate, our team of therapists come alongside them and their family to help them feel more understood, empowered, connected and loved. I believe in conducting therapy in partnership with families, pediatricians, teachers, and other specialists to ensure that each child receives a personalized treatment plan that is reinforced in all settings.

Are you having a difficult time adjusting to changes in your life? Is your anxiety creating limitations for you? Or maybe you are a parent that is trying to help their child regulate their emotions. People sometimes go through events in life where they need additional support as they attempt to navigate them. A therapist may be the unbiased and nonjudgmental person you can talk to.

Are you struggling to handle your child's big emotions and behaviors? You have thought of every option to help your child, but you feel like nothing is working. You're tired, busy, and overwhelmed. You've gotten to the point where you have to walk on egg shells to avoid conflict with your young child. It's okay that you feel tired and exhausted. Supporting children through big emotions and behaviors can be very hard.

Reaching out can be so hard, but it is such an important first step! We are not made to do the hard things alone and more and more research is showing that we are deeply wired for connection and support. While different seasons in our lives have different needs and speeds, we know that every individual is capable of connection, healing, and wholeness with the right support. Science has shown us time and time again how adaptive our bodies and brains are as they change to manage the stress or trauma of our lived experiences. Therapy is about moving towards healing and growth as we learn to trust ourselves.

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.
