Adolescents/teenagers face many difficulties that can lead to feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, etc.  These years contain lots of transitional issues (ex: physical/hormonal and emotional changes, having the desire to establish independence from their parents/caregivers, etc.) which can result in feelings such as confusion and helplessness.

Adolescents/teens may not have the needed coping skills to deal with these significant changes which may lead to your adolescent/teen engaging in risky behaviors or becoming depressed and/or anxious.

Common Questions About Adolescent & Teen Therapy

  • Due to confidentiality, I am not at liberty to discuss specific details about your teens sessions. i can, however, share overall topics of discussion and any items that your teen gives me verbal consent to share with you. If there is ever a physical safety concern, I will inform your teen that I will be speaking with you, encourage them to be present for the conversation, and inform you immediately.

  • 1. Contact me directly to schedule a free 10-15 minute phone call or book online (link to book is on the contact page).

    2. After we speak and both feel we would be a good fit for another I will schedule a 60 minute intake appointment with yourself and any other parents involved (without your teen present) to discuss presenting concerns, the process of therapy, etc.

    3. After the initial session, we will schedule your teen's first session and I will meet with you throughout the treatment process to discuss your teen's progress towards therapeutic goals.
