Therapy for Teens

You’re trying to be a good parent.

You’re navigating how to communicate effectively with your child, help them understand their emotions, and equip them with tools to navigate adulthood.

The preteen years are challenging, and when full-fledged teenager-hood arrives, it can feel like your child’s body is racing ahead of their mind. Emotions and hormones amplify everything, making support crucial for both you and your child.

When you ask them what’s wrong, you often hear the frustrating response of “nothing.” It’s a challenging time for both of you.

You can see your child suffering.

You may notice your child withdrawing from family activities; spending more time alone in their room; or turning to social media to cope with anxiety, school pressures, or feelings of isolation from friends. You’ve also noticed a drop in their grades.

These challenges weigh heavily on them, and they might not know how to ask for help. It’s natural to feel uncertain about how to approach them without risking conflict, and you may be unsure of the best steps to take.

Above all, you want to see your child rediscover their happiness, confidence, and connection with the world around them.

How therapy can help.

In therapy, your child finds a safe space to unravel complex thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll delve into their frustrations, social pressures, anxiety, and stressors.

They’ll learn practical strategies to manage stress, cope with overwhelming emotions, and communicate effectively.

I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. For children facing additional challenges managing their ADHD symptoms, I utilize Behavioral Therapy to help them develop effective coping strategies and improve their self-regulation skills. These approaches are tailored to help your child build resilience and confidence.

My goal is to support both of you in navigating these challenging years with clarity and purpose, fostering a path toward positive growth and well-being.

See your child flourish.

Therapy can be a crucial support in this journey, offering a safe space for them to explore their feelings and learn skills to thrive.

Empower your teen by setting them up for success in life. Support their emotional development into adulthood and beyond.

Feel assured, as a parent, that you are guiding your teen through this transformative phase of life.
