Dr. Valerie Ahl
Psychologist, PhD
Online Only
I originally trained in Developmental Psychology, and I use a lifespan perspective to understand how prior learning influenced a person to become "stuck" or thwarted in their growth and development. For me, labels mean less than the lived experience of the individual. I use humor to keep meetings joyful, and make sure sessions end on a positive note. If therapy is all pain, who would want to go back for more? I believe that everything makes sense, and we can build an understanding together. Then we can focus on how to use existing strengths and new learning to promote a life of thriving and continued growing.

I have 6 years of experience treating adults and adolescents with depression, anxiety and ptsd.
Do you feel disconnected from yourself? Do you feel stuck? You may have spent many hours talking about problems and speculating on solutions and, while this has been supportive, you may feel like fundamentally the problems have not shifted. We will work collaboratively and use somatic and mindfulness-based modalities to understand and heal the roots of the distress. I harness a spiritually informed approach which will help you discover the meaning of the suffering. Somatic work will provide paths out of your stuckness which were previously undiscovered.

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.
