Adolescent Therapy

Adolescence is a critical period of personal growth and emotional development. Adolescent therapy offers teenagers a safe, supportive space to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, peer pressure, and identity exploration.

I specialize in working with teens, using developmentally appropriate techniques to foster emotional resilience, improve self-esteem, and help them build healthy relationships.

Who Would Benefit from Individual Therapy?

This service may be helpful for teens who:

  • Experience anxiety, depression, or mood changes.

  • Struggle with friendships or peer relationships.

  • Face academic challenges or school-related stress.

  • Are exploring identity, self-worth, or gender identity.

  • Exhibit behavioral issues at home or in school.

  • Have experienced trauma, bullying, or loss.

  • Need help coping with family transitions such as divorce or relocation.

How Does a Typical Session Look?

First Session

I will meet with both the teen and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to gather background information and set therapy goals.

Length of Session

50 to 60 minutes

Frequency

Weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs and goals.

Parent Involvement

While therapy sessions are private, parents will be kept informed of progress and may receive recommendations for supporting their teen.

Techniques Used

Depending on the needs of the teen, sessions may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, talk therapy, or expressive therapies like art or journaling.

Appointment Plans

Therapy plans for teens are flexible and tailored to their needs.

Some teens benefit from short-term therapy, while others may prefer long-term support to work through ongoing challenges.

Progress is regularly evaluated to ensure the treatment plan remains effective and relevant.
