Boulder puts a lot of pressure on kids to be exceptional — and on parents to raise them that way. The result? Teens who look fine on the outside but are quietly overwhelmed, and parents who love their kids deeply but feel like they’re failing them.
I’m Zach, an LCSW with 12 years of experience working with teenagers, young adults, and the parents navigating it all alongside them. I’ve worked in psych hospitals, public schools, community mental health, and residential programs — which means I’ve seen kids at their most stuck, and I know how to reach them.
My approach is simple: I build real relationships first. Most teens have already been told what to do. What they need is someone who actually listens — and a safe place to figure out who they are without the comparison game destroying them in the process.
If your teenager is struggling with anxiety, anger, school stress, or pulling away from the family, or if you’re a parent who’s exhausted and not sure what to try next — I’d love to talk. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can find out if we’re a good fit.
