In my personal and professional experience, I have seen therapy change lives. I recommend therapy for anyone, even those not in crisis. My practice is person-centered. I believe therapy is a conversation, and comfortability with your therapist is key. In my previous career as a television producer, I had to rely heavily on my communication skills, which feed directly into what I am doing now with my clients. Communication and understanding are the backbone of my therapy practice. I do individual sessions with kids, pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and work with families, and couples.

Having difficulties in life is something that we will all face and asking for help can be incredibly difficult. As a counselor I work to provide a judgement free comfortable environment to my clients in hopes that we can work together to address and overcome their difficulties and concerns. Time is valuable and having time to focus on ourselves is something that occurs less and less with age. With that in mind I want to make our time in counseling as valuable as possible by focusing on goals, building skills, and allowing the time to be what each person needs.

Well-meaning people try to give us advice when we feel anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. What we really need is validation that our feelings matter, that we have the right to feel how we feel. There could be parts of you that feel unheard or rejected. Maybe there are parts that are angry or that use unhealthy coping strategies to treat sadness or trauma.

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.
