Therapists for Teens in Lake Mary, FL
I have an array of specialities that consist of marriage/family, couple, relationships, infidelity, pre-martial counseling, families with a child(ren) with disabilities, parenting, children, adolescent, adult, male psychological health, women's psychological health, LGBTQ+, sex addiction, trauma, ADHD, personality/mood disorders, depression/anxiety.
I recognize that more often than not, sometimes reaching out is the hardest part. If you have found yourself here, pat yourself on the back! You have conquered the first step! As a mental health professional, I truly believe therapy should never be viewed as a "one size fits all" approach. Along with this ideology, I take great care in personalizing all treatment plans to be just as unique as the individual sitting in front of me. My goal as a therapist is to ensure I am providing each individual/family a safe, comfortable setting and providing the best possible therapeutic interventions to achieve an overall sense of well-being.

Specialized therapy for women and teen girls. If you are woman, you are likely familiar with stress, anxiety, and emotions that just feel all over the place. Therapy for women and teen girls focuses on helping females cope with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, infertility, and parenting support and coaching for parents who are struggling with how to support their child through the extreme highs and lows of their teen's emotions. After working with teen girls for over a decade I have learned firsthand what challenges teen girls are facing and more importantly what they need to cope, grow, and mature into confident young women.

Life is full of transitions, and it can be difficult to navigate life changes. Do you feel frustrated, alone, misunderstood, or sad due to family conflict, an unfulfilling romantic relationship, low self esteem, stress, or parenting your children? Relationships can be complicated, and it is disheartening to feel stuck in situations that cause anxiety, sadness, or stress. Tension can build even more if you have a child or teen who is struggling with their behavior or emotions. This can negatively affect school, work, or home life. It takes courage to reach out for professional help.

My mission is to inspire others to live their purpose. For over 30 years, I have coached individuals, couples and families with their relationships. The #1 relationship problem goes beyond communication. It is learning to resolve conflict and getting stronger through it. It is about accepting differences for what they are. Whether you just want a stronger relationship or you are in a crisis and do not know which way to turn, the only thing holding you back right now is probably fear. Ask yourself: What would love do? And then give me a call.

I have worked with the chronically mentally ill population; counseled children, teens and their families in homes and schools; helped patients and their families cope with terminal illnesses and death in hospice; and worked in home health and private practice.
Sometimes, in order to reach God's full potential for us, we need a little help along the way. To be encouraged, motivated, empowered, and reminded of how strong and courageous we are.

I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, validation, and on improving self awareness, insight, self esteem, and assertiveness.

I believe that the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is part of what helps facilitate change. I help my clients make shifts in their relationships–the relationships they have with themselves, each other, and with their problems. I understand therapy to be a place not to run away from one's problems, but to turn toward them, a place to find ways to connect and to move toward health and wholeness.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
