Teen Therapists in Lexington, KY

I have experience working with clients of all ages, but most of my clinical practice has focused on adolescents and young adults. I consider this a specialty of mine and I really enjoy working with clients in those age groups. I especially enjoy working with clients who are struggling in social relationships, with life transitions, and adjusting to new environments. I have experience working with clients on issues including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, parent-child relational problems, trauma, and adolescent substance abuse.

My work with women and parents is based on one simple belief: we all are capable of finding joy and satisfaction. And the right therapy can help. Overwhelming stressors, unhealthy relationships and patterns of self-sabotaging behaviors frequently get people off track. I work with clients to select the right approach to help them achieve their goals. As a therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I offer psychotherapy with an emphasis on mindfulness. I am also certified in EMDR.

Following a multidimensional approach to counseling and therapy, I focus not only on pathology, diagnosis, and treatment but on the overall mental health and wellness of the clients I serve. I regard the therapeutic relationship shared with clients as the most important element of therapy and the highest predictor of positive and successful outcomes. I began working with child and adolescent clients at National Youth Advocate Program in central Kentucky and today continue to serve clients of all ages and backgrounds at Intrust Healthcare in Lexington, KY. Please feel free to reach out to me directly for more information.

I believe in focusing not just on the individual client but the whole family in treatment, offering not only one on one child counseling, individual adolescent and adult counseling, but parenting and family sessions. At times individual sessions are the best approach due to the unique needs of the client, these being offered for children, adolescents and adults. With over 17 years of experience in counseling, I continue to greatly enjoy helping each individual take a step towards healing and the wholeness for which they were designed.

I have spent most of my career working with adolescents and consider this to be a speciality of mine. However, I also love working with adults and children. In addition to being a therapist, I am a yoga teacher and enjoy teaching relaxation techniques, specifically to treat anxiety and emotion regulation.

I specialize in working with adult adoptees, teen adoptees and bio/birth family in the midst of search and reunion as well as those with Misattributed Parentage (MPE) and Non-Paternal Event (NPE). I utilize my awareness of the nuances and dynamics of unexpected DNA results, search, reunion, secondary rejection and the complexity of searching for identity while attempting to maintain relationships with the adoptive family/family of origin to assist you in your healing journey.

It's tough to be a kid or teen right now and it's tough to parent a kid or teen . The more motivated a young person and their family are to improve, the more successful we are in therapy. It will go best when everyone is (1) honest enough to really get to know themselves, (2) empathetic enough to care about the effects their choices and actions have on others, and (3) brave enough to do things differently so they can feel better, have healthier relationships, and enjoy more successes.

Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, etc. that effect our daily lives, all of which can have a profound impact on our ability to manage mental health and maintain healthy relationships with others. This is especially typical in adolescent years when the strive for independence and formulation of personal identity often creates conflict within family systems, issues with self-esteem, and interactions with peers. While I see clients of all ages, I enjoy working with teens struggling to find themselves while navigating the numerous changes experienced during adolescence.

As your therapist, my goal is to empower your inherent strengths and abilities. I use a person-centered approach to guide sessions based on your priorities, concerns, and goals. Rather than focusing on the negative, I prefer to highlight my clients' strengths and successes. I believe that each of my clients has a unique perspective with their own intersectional identities, so I view my clients as the experts of their own experiences.

Virtual and in- person sessions being offered. I work with all ages, and families to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems. I discover and get to know each person individually. I base my counseling style on my clients needs, strengths and goals. I utilize multiple models in the counseling experience: Advanced Accelerated Resolution; ART, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral and Play Therapies. I apply Therapeutic Art Techniques to the treatment process. I also have had real life experiences dealing and overcoming life stressors of my own. I offer Mental Health, ADHD and Parenting Assessments/ Classes.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. You deserve a life worth living! Whether you are a parent looking for a therapist to work with your child/ teenager or an adult struggling to find their purpose in life, you have the ability to become the best version of yourself. As your therapist, I would help you discover your strengths & develop a confidence in your abilities to better understand your emotions and make life more meaningful. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment to support healing for you and your family.

I love my work and enjoy offering my clients a safe and supportive environment for them to grow and explore themselves. My style is both conversational and relational. I offer an authentic presence within a collaborative, lively relationship in which self-discovery can be non-threatening and perhaps, even fun. I am committed to sharing everything I know which I believe will help heal the difficulties in one's life. I am inspired each day by the courage clients have each moment they show up for therapy. I became a therapist because, to me, the value in life comes when you return to your value within.
