Expert Adolescent Therapy

It’s a tough time to be a teenager.

The scientific research on the teenage years speaks for itself.

With all its changing social norms, increased technology, political polarization, and complex challenges, modern society has impacted the teenage experience.

All the classic stressors exist, like fitting in socially, the pressure to succeed academically, navigating romantic feelings and dating relationships, and all the family dynamics that are unique to each individual.

But screen time, Snapchat, gaming, and the rest seem to have strapped a rocket ship on the back of anxiety and depression rates. It’s a tough time to be a teenager, which means it’s tough to be a parent.

We love working with teens.

For those enough who were lucky, we remember how impactful it was to feel like there was an adult unrelated to us but who was on our side. Having an adult listen, validate, and truly understand us greatly impacts the life of a teen.

We help teens drown out all the noise created by modern culture, truly find themselves, and determine who they want to be.

How we’ll do it…

Our work together will include grounding exercises that can help when feeling anxious. We work on self-care plans when feeling depressed. Throughout our work together, we stress the importance of being compassionate toward ourselves, giving ourselves a break, being strong and resilient, and pressing through hard things to discover our capabilities.

We believe that everyone has a ‘higher self’ that wants to emerge and challenges that hold us back. This description is never so evident as in what we see with teenagers, and we love being a mentor, guide, and voice of wisdom that helps facilitate that emergence.
