Let me help you with parental capacity levels, and reducing dysregulation with your kiddo through LENS and therapy. Maybe you’ve tried therapy, parenting strategies, or coping tools, but something still feels stuck.
When the brain and nervous system are in chronic survival mode, insight and willpower alone often aren’t enough. This is where LENS neurofeedback can be helpful.
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a gentle, non-invasive approach that works directly with the brain to support regulation. LENS helps the nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight patterns so it can regulate and be flexible.

I've worked extensively with teenagers and young adults as a high school counselor.
You want things to change and you’re ready to feel different, live differently, but something keeps getting in the way. Maybe it’s the weight of past trauma, grief or loss, unmet expectations, or a constant sense of low self-worth. Even with all the effort you’ve put in, it still feels like you’re carrying something that no one else can see. From the outside, it may look like you’re doing fine. You’ve gotten through a lot. You’ve managed, achieved, even succeeded in many ways. But inside, you might feel disconnected, exhausted, or uncertain - like you’re surviving instead of fully living.

Is your child or teen struggling at home, school or socially?
Combining neuroscience with play therapy, I work address root causes of every behavior. I believe our bodies, brains, and nervous systems have an incredible capacity for natural healing when given the right support. By addressing stress, dysregulation, and stuck patterns, we can unlock this innate ability, fostering resilience and emotional well-being.

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.
