Teen Therapy

The teenage years are not all fun and games.

Being a teenager today is more challenging than ever.

With academic pressures, social media, friendships, and family expectations, it is easy for teens to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck.

Parenting during this period in your child’s life can be frustrating because communication patterns and parental expectations change. More than ever, teens need and benefit from advice and support, primarily because transitioning from being a teen to becoming an adult is hard to navigate alone.

Teen therapy offers a safe and supportive space for young people to explore their emotions, work through challenges, and develop tools to maneuver through life with greater confidence and resilience.

As a therapist, I can help your teen.

I specialize in helping teens who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or the challenges of finding their identity and voice.

In our sessions, I create an environment where your teen feels comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment. Therapy is not about lecturing or forcing solutions; it is a collaborative process where teens feel genuinely heard and understood.

Using approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I teach practical skills to help teens manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve communication. These tools empower them to learn how to manage stress, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationships with friends and family.

For deeper concerns, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help teens explore the parts of themselves that may feel conflicted, stuck, or burdened. By fostering self-awareness and understanding, teens can develop a sense of inner balance and gain confidence in who they are.

Together, we can make the teen years less challenging.

Therapy is a place where teens can pause, reflect, and grow. It helps them build resilience, navigate challenges, and gain a more precise direction in their lives.

For parents, therapy offers reassurance that their teens receive the support they need to thrive.

If your teen is struggling, therapy can make a meaningful difference.
