Therapy Services for
Adolescents
Navigating adolescence can feel overwhelming—for teens and their families alike. If your teen is struggling with anxiety, identity, school stress, or life after trauma, you’re not alone. I offer a calm, collaborative space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support real emotional growth.

How I Support Teens
-
Anxiety & Low Mood: Learn to recognize anxious or blue moods as messages from your nervous system, not a flaw.
-
Trauma & Big Life Changes: Create safety, process what happened, and reconnect with your natural resilience. See how complex trauma works in my Trauma & PTSD article.
-
Identity & Self-Worth: Explore who you are beyond expectations—so self-acceptance becomes your default. Here’s a post on teen identity development.
-
Relationships & Peer Pressure: Navigate friendships and family life with more awareness, empathy, and boundaries.
What To Expect
1. First Chat (Free Consult)
-
I’ll talk with parent(s)/guardian(s) and the teen to understand what’s going on—for everyone’s safety and clarity.
2. Personalized Map
-
Custom plan often includes one-on-one sessions with the teen and check-ins with caregivers.
3. Flexible & Real Work
-
We go together at the pace that feels right—therapy isn’t perfect, but it can be powerful when it’s not forced.
For Parents & Families
Therapy isn’t about blame—it’s about understanding and connection. I’ll invite you into the process with clarity, compassion, and without judgment—because healing happens in relationships, even the ones that challenge us.
