My clients are the ones feeling exhausted with their anxiety bullying them and keeping them from living a life they know deep down they deserve. They are the ones who often have scary, unsettling, and relentless intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that are hard to speak about and have tried on their own to get rid of these experiences but haven't found their attempts to be effective long-term. My clients are also families who have heartache and tension, and want to find solutions to work together more effectively to make their home feel like a home again.

If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes, therapy can help you regain balance, confidence, and clarity—without losing sight of who you are. Words have power, and the stories we tell ourselves shape how we see ourselves and what feels possible. When those stories become limiting or stressful, therapy can help you explore and reshape them, creating space for self-compassion, clarity, and renewed confidence.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent 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.
