Therapy for Teens

I specialize in offering individualized therapy for teenagers who are navigating a variety of emotional, social, and developmental challenges. Adolescence is a pivotal time, marked by physical changes, identity formation, and increased academic and social pressures. It is common for teens to encounter stress, anxiety, mood fluctuations, and self-esteem issues during this period. In my practice, I focus on creating a warm, judgment-free environment where teens feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions openly.

By working together, we explore their feelings, develop effective coping strategies, and address any underlying issues that may be contributing to their struggles. Whether your teen is facing challenges related to peer relationships, academic stress, social media influence, or emotional well-being, I aim to empower them with the tools and resilience they need to overcome obstacles. My goal is to support teens in building emotional strength, self-confidence, and healthy interpersonal skills, guiding them toward a brighter and more balanced future.

Frequent parent check-ins for teens are highly encouraged.

Teens may struggle with a variety of issues that can benefit from therapeutic support, including:

  • Anxiety (social, academic, generalized)

  • Depression and mood swings

  • Low self-esteem and self-worth

  • Peer pressure and fitting in

  • Identity formation (self-concept, gender, and sexual identity)

  • Parent-child conflict and communication challenges

  • Emotional regulation and managing big emotions

  • Body image issues

  • Academic stress and performance anxiety

  • Social isolation or friendship difficulties

  • Grief and loss

  • Trauma or adverse experiences

  • Relationship issues

  • Transitions (moving, parental separation, changing schools)

These challenges can significantly impact a teen's emotional well-being, and therapy can provide valuable tools for understanding and managing them effectively.
