Girls, don't let your anxiety get the best of you for one more day! I help teen girls and their parents understand and manage their anxiety in a way that helps them feel empowered and helps them the gain confidence to solve their own problems and make good decisions. It is time to stop feeling overwhelmed with life. I can help with over thinking, worrying about what others are thinking of you, feeling socially isolated or difficulties with friends, self-esteem, and social/school anxiety as well as the stress that comes from the expectations you feel from yourself and others.

Navigating our worlds can be really challenging these days. Day to day life can be complex enough, but when additional stressors appear, things can get really difficult. Sometimes it is really helpful to have someone with a calm and quiet presence, and a couple decades of skilled practice outside of your normal life to talk to when things get overwhelming. It is reassuring to know that you can find effective and compassionate help.

Families I meet are confronting obstacles related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, self esteem, and behavior. These challenges are taxing for one person, impacting our family and personal relationships. Many carry this burden, seeking an opportunity to set them and forget them, searching for a new way to live. Hope is found in the family’s inner strength to grow and adapt, even as our roles and identities change. Let’s tap into your power to negotiate the ups and downs of relationships, mental health, and transitions.

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.
