Therapists for Teens in 92620

OC Kids Therapy was created out of the need for brief solution focused treatment for children and their families. With counseling and coaching we help children, teens and their families gain the tools to deal with many of the common issues kids experience such as: Anxiety, depression, self harm and lack of motivation. Often, typical "teen" and "child" issues such as acting out, parent child conflict, academic issues and social difficulties can be addressed within as little as 5 sessions.

Everyone struggles with the challenges of life and everyone can use some help once in awhile to get through a difficult period. Challenging times can be scary and overwhelming, but they can also present an opportunity for growth and positive change if managed appropriately. In my practice, I work collaboratively and interactively with teens and adults to help identify and solve problems that get in the way of achieving life aspirations. The goal of therapy is to empower people to live richer and more satisfying lives. I use a compassionate approach when helping people make changes in their lives.

Are you feeling helpless in dealing with your child/teen emotional and behavioral issues? Do you feel lost in connecting with your child/teen? You want to help them but don't know how?

Through this process, clients get to know themselves better, in a safe and supportive environment. I develop a therapeutic relationship based on their needs and goals. My experience includes treating individuals with depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma.

I strive to help my clients feel comfortable and safe, and help empower them to build skills to help manage stressors and overcome obstacles.
