Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Pickerington, OH
I have over 8 years of experience helping adults, teens, and couples with their relational challenges and mental health.
The constant pressure to "hold it together" is exhausting. Whether it’s a heavy fog of depression that won’t lift or the lonely silence that has grown between you and your partner, you’re tired of feeling disconnected and misunderstood. You may wonder if life and relationships are supposed to feel this hard—or if something could truly be different. You are likely carrying a sense of heaviness that doesn’t seem to lift, feeling caught in the same patterns or having the same arguments. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and take intentional steps toward change.

You’re doing a lot to keep things together—but underneath, it still feels overwhelming.
Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument and nothing actually changes. Maybe your child is struggling and you’re second-guessing everything. Or maybe you’re the one holding it all, and you’re exhausted, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break.
This is where we slow things down and figure out what’s really going on.
I use approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman-informed work, Family Systems, EMDR, and CBT—but more importantly, I tailor things to what actually fits you and your situation.

You may feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but struggle to change emotionally. Perhaps stress, overwhelm, emotional eating, or ongoing challenges in relationships have become ways of coping, even though they no longer serve you. You’re motivated for change, yet frustrated by cycles of short-term progress followed by setbacks. You want lasting relief, greater self-trust, and healthier relationships—with food, your body, and the people in your life.

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.
