Teen Therapist
the teen experience
The teenage years can be a unique yet confusing time. Teens often feel misunderstood and are not always comfortable expressing themselves to their parents. This can lead to a buildup of emotions that manifest themselves at inopportune times. The main goal of teen therapy is to create a space where their feelings are validated, which helps them understand themselves and their emotions. This in turn empowers them to withstand challenges and thrive during such a crucial stage. I approach therapy for teens with a great deal of sincerity because I take pride the opportunity to set young people up for success. I’d be thrilled to meet with you and/or your teen to discuss how we can work together. Click below to schedule your free consultation if you’re seeking a teen therapist!
Why work with a teen Therapist?
Therapy for teens is often beneficial for those seeking a deeper level of validation and understanding. The awareness that something doesn’t feel quite right and taking the initiative to look for support is an mature step to take. It can also help you hone valuable life skills like resilience and persistence, among others. I feel finding yourself and developing some independence is crucial as a teen, and while your parents’ permission is needed to begin therapy, we will create a therapeutic space in which we will work together to tackle issues with no additional outside pressures.

Online Teen Therapist
Parents: I believe it is important that some things shared in therapy are kept confidential for your teen’s benefit. Allowing your teen to have their space in therapy will give them a space to grow by developing independence, which can help them thrive outside of therapy as well. With that said, I promise to always be open and honest with you when it comes to anything concerning your teen’s safety, as their physical, mental, and emotional health is my top priority. We will work together to discover the best path for empowering your teen to thrive!
