Therapy for teenagers
Helping you feel seen, heard, and supported
The teen years are a time of rapid change. Expectations grow, relationships shift, and many teens begin to think more seriously about who they are and what comes next. It’s common for teens to feel pressure academically, socially, emotionally, or within their family relationships during this stage.
Therapy offers teens a space to talk openly, feel understood, and develop stronger confidence in navigating these challenges.
I work with teens who may be experiencing:
Anxiety and stress
School pressure or motivation challenges
ADHD and executive functioning difficulties
Friendship and social concerns
Self-esteem and identity development
Family tension or communication challenges
When working with adolescents, I involve parents collaboratively when it supports the teen’s goals, particularly with younger adolescents. As independence grows, I prioritize open communication while respecting the teen’s autonomy and therapeutic space.
What to expect when you reach out
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step.
Here’s how we’ll make the process feel clear, supportive, and manageable:
-
Phone consultation
We’ll start with a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to talk about your needs and see if we’re a good fit.
-
Intake session
Our first full session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll explore your goals, background, and what’s bringing you to therapy now.
-
Personalized plan
Together, we’ll create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful, based on your needs, strengths, and priorities.
-
Doing the work
We’ll meet weekly to do the real work of therapy, building insight, practicing new skills, and moving toward healing and growth.
