I've worked with many young adults and adolescents; if you are a parent of an adolescent, feel free to reach out.
You’ve reached a point where you need more support. Maybe you’re feeling alone, questioning parts of your identity, or wanting a safe place to process something that’s been gnawing at you. In therapy, we can identify these issues and start better understanding yourself, and gain more direction and confidence. You and your partner may feel misunderstood by each other, want to communicate better, and want more space for each person’s feelings and needs. You might want more, but are not sure yet, or want something different. We can work to establish better communication and appreciation between you and your partner.

If you're the parent of an adolescent or teen who's struggling to find the help your child, your family, and you need and deserve, look no further!
In other words, emotional wounds and unhelpful behaviors and beliefs occur in relationship, which is why healing also needs to occur in relationship. This is precisely what counseling and psychotherapy are about and why they can be so vital to your healing and growth. And this is why I work from an integrative, attachment-focused, psychodynamic perspective.

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.
