Therapy for Teenagers

Being a teen is not all fun and games.

As a parent, you know he is a good kid. This is what makes it so gut-wrenching to see him struggle like this!

He is so creative and unique, yet school and peer relationships become a tangled web of anxiety and disappointment. You want him to catch his stride, find his place, and thrive – not just survive daily!

Sometimes, he feels outside looking in, unsure of himself – and even anxiously getting in his way – when trying to connect with others. When it comes to making lasting friendships and feeling successful, it’s hard to know how to help him.

You’re ready for him to stop feeling lonely and discouraged and start enjoying who he was meant to be! Your teen could use some help and support.

This is where therapy can make a difference.

As a therapist, I am an excellent fit for teenage boys who feel like the square peg in a round hole. I love walking alongside the caring, sensitive, and creative teen who often can’t see his unique brilliance.

Growing up can feel like a maze, so figuring out where he belongs and who he is can be a huge learning curve. The world your teenage son is trying to thrive in feels much different than what you experienced as an adolescent.

As a parent, you are doing the best you can with the blueprint you were given, and I know that your heart wants to see your teen thrive through this confusing, stressful period of adolescence. It’s okay to need some extra support.

Let me provide that support.

In my work with teenagers, I show up to walk alongside them as a curious and empathetic guide. I incorporate many different therapy modalities, including IFS, EMDR, and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches.

With any approach I use – depending on what your teenager needs – I will help to create an inviting place to explore what he is experiencing, to figure out who he wants to become, and how to manage his emotions, learning to thrive in the confusion of adolescence.
