For over 30 years, I have provided psychotherapy to adults. People from all walks of life need help at some point. Some are struggling with anxiety or depression or have experienced something traumatic and can't seem to move on from it. Others come because a relationship is in trouble and they need help to repair and restore it or they are seeking support to survive the break-up. Still others are dealing with issues of grief and loss, burnout, codependency, traumatic childhoods and addictions. With the pandemic, everything is heightened: our fears, our struggles, even our ability to be kind to ourselves and parent our children.

Arriving here, is likely a culmination of many things. It often takes us a while to decide to talk to someone. It's not an easy decision. You may find yourself feeling unsure, anxious, depressed, lonely or just off. Whatever the reason, I'm glad you chose to reach out.

Sometimes it is easy to get a bit off kilter and be in need of added support due to depression, anxiety or related problems. Having a baby isn't what you thought it would be? Trying to juggle work and a family? Your child or teenager is having difficulty in school and you've tried everything? My philosophy is to gain understanding of the client's perspective and then develop a plan for progressing toward the client's goals using mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, understanding of the client's relationships and family therapy.

Has your teenager suddenly turned into someone you don't recognize? They're arguing more, getting in trouble at school, or finding it hard to make friends. Sometimes, you feel like you're parenting a werewolf. You're not sure if their behavior is normal or if they need professional help. They won't talk to you like they used to and you're at a loss for what to do next. Becoming a person is hard and teens may be weighed down by anxiety, depression, social difficulties, or trauma. Teens have unique needs and deserve a therapist who specializes in helping them grow and thrive in a healthy way.

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.
