Anxiety and/or depression derail your teen’s daily plans and leave them with constant unwanted companions – frustration, exhaustion, and a shrinking self-concept. They can’t control it. You can’t control it. You desperately want them to move forward, but you just don’t know how to help them anymore. Sports and clubs have been helpful in the past and family is supportive but it’s just not enough. You're considering medication, but not sold on that idea. "Surely, there has to be a different way," you think. "I just want my child to be happy and confidently live their life. I want them to know and believe in how wonderful they are."
I’m glad you found your way to me. The combination of approaches I use, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), can help your teen break through the barriers that are holding them back. We'll also examine lifestyle choices and their impact on your teen's functioning.
Together, these modalities help to reprocess how experiences are stored in their brain and body, ultimately allowing your teen to move forward immersed in mental wellness. This approach is non-invasive, doesn't require medication, and can be effective for an array of issues. Fill out the contact form to set up your consultation today and see how I can help!
