Guiding Your Adolescent to Navigate Life's Challenges With Confidence

Helping Teens Find Stability and Empowerment

It's challenging to be a teenager these days and as their caregiver, you want to understand, but things can change quickly.

Now that they are an adolescent, their worries have become more complicated than just a skinned knee, a broken toy, or not getting picked first for the team.

You may feel exhausted from attempting to communicate with your teen but failing to get through. Watching your child go from a happy child to a worried adolescent is hard. Perhaps you’re asking yourself, “what should I do?”

It gives you a lot of pain to see your child in such pain. Your impulse is to save your kid from all their struggles.

Is Your Adolescent Struggling with Worry, Loss, or Overwhelm?

Maybe some of the following sound familiar?

They don’t feel confident enough to put themselves out there and follow their dreams
They have lost interest in things they used to be interested in
They often feel down or depressed
They seem to feel shame or failure - often comparing themselves to peers
They feel like no one understands them or what they are going through
They lash out with uncharacteristic behavior

Teenage years can feel like a rollercoaster ride, with ups and downs leaving both teens and parents disoriented. But even on their “worst” days when they’re depressed, distant, or avoiding being social with anyone, you love them unconditionally. Don’t give up on them.

And guess what? There's always time to help your teen access the resources they need. Things can get better with my help.

Help Your Teen Grow Into A Happier Young Adult

How great would it be for your teen to be more stable and empowered? For them to have healthy ways to know how to manage obstacles that might be thrown in their path, to move beyond their challenges, and start creating a life they are excited about?

Your teen might feel overwhelmed today, but in Therapy we’ll be focusing on making the changes that your teen wants to make in life. I'm here to assist your teen in navigating life changes. Together, we'll find ways to bring about positive outcomes.

How Therapy for
Adolescents Works

Teen therapy consists of 50-minute sessions which are the teen on their own, primarily. Occasionally a session with both the teen and the caregiver(s) may be beneficial.

Here's How It Will Work
Step-By-Step:

Let's start by getting together for our first session, where both you and your teen can share what's on your minds and any challenges you are facing.

Then, I'll meet with your teen weekly. Research says that 10-12 sessions will show good progress. I have extremely limited after school hours, but the progress your teen experiences should impact even their academics.

During our sessions, we'll explore your teen's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This process helps them gain insight, cope with challenges, and build confidence as they navigate through life.

And the best part?

Seeing your teen grow, become happier, healthier, and begin living their life to the fullest.

In addition to listening, I will guide them towards solutions and motivate them with ideas.

Therapy provides adolescents with a judgement-free zone to better understand their challenges and builds self-awareness. Once they are more aware, they’ll be empowered so they can work through tough moments and find a sense of peace.
