Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Woodside, NY
As a mental health expert in culture and identity conflicts, my therapy work starts with making space for your unique lived experiences, identities, and how you show up in your different worlds. I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapy techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I help my patients learn about themselves, explore issues that have led to emotional distress, and teach skills to manage the situations at hand. Therapy can involve exploring your past, present, and future challenges and pursuing an emotional growth to handle it all.

I bring a perspective most therapists don't have: before becoming a licensed counselor, I worked as a registered dietitian, so I understand the connection between emotional pain and self-image from both sides. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem, helping clients build a healthier relationship with themselves, not just with food.
Constantly feeling at war with yourself is exhausting, especially when you carry that pain silently. You deserve the same compassion you give everyone else.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to talk through what you're facing.

Children, adolescents, and young adults often show up to therapy differently than adults do, through play, behavior, and body language as much as words.
I use CBT, ERP, NET, Person-Centered Therapy, and Relational Play Therapy to support clients with anxiety, ADHD, BDD, depression, and disabilities. My approach is mindfulness-based, collaborative, and tailored to help build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Breaking through the numbness birthed by life’s tragedies is dirty work. Trauma, stress and grief can cling to you, isolating you from everything you value. I'm a therapist who will get right into the muck and fight alongside you as we break through apathy and discover what zest might be lying underneath, waiting to spring forth. My past clients have described me as attuned “I feel so heard in our sessions. Breanna really listens and reflects things back to me in a way that makes me feel less ashamed,” and gently challenging “She lowkey reads me sometimes but she also helps me stay grounded in my values. I need that.”

I work with preteens, teens, and adults using a warm, collaborative, trauma-focused, and person-centered approach.
As a Dance/Movement Therapist and psychotherapist, I believe our emotions and experiences don’t just live in our thoughts — they also live in the body. I incorporate an embodied approach to therapy that helps clients build awareness of emotional patterns, strengthen coping skills, and better understand themselves beyond just “thinking through” problems.

Are you or a loved one experiencing hardship because of a threat of deportation? If you need a hardship evaluation for immigration, you must be able to prove that you need to stay in this country for your family. A psychological report that you can exhibit to immigration, documenting the emotional trauma you and your family have endured is a necessary step in helping you stay here in this country.

I work with patients ranging in age from children (as young as 6) to teens to adults, all in a comfortable therapeutic setting.
For me, therapy is about providing a safe, non-judgmental space, free from social pressures and prejudices and labels. I see therapy as a partnership and dialogue between the therapist and the patient, where together we tackle challenges and questions, and think and work together to craft answers.

I would say an "ideal" client would be one who is open to vulnerability and recognizing the strength in vulnerability, and puts that strength into staying committed and involved all throughout the process of therapy. The client has to be ready and willing to confront those uncomfortable spots in their life, while also being capable of staying motivated in their treatment in-and-out of the counseling space.

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.
