The relationship between client and therapist is the most crucial component in ensuring that the client can make significant changes in their life. Everyone deserves to discuss their personal issues in an environment that provides safety, validation, compassion, and empathy. I utilize a psychodynamic approach when working with clients because I feel that our environments shape who we are.

Kintsugi is a Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery, not to hide the cracks, but to honor them with precious metals. It's not realistic to expect all pain and suffering to completely disappear, AND there are things we can do to reduce our suffering while embracing our imperfections. I look at therapy like Kintsugi.... you and I working together to honor the challenges you've faced, and figuring out how to put the pieces back together in a way that works for the life YOU want and deserve.

The past is still with you. You try to move beyond it, but it casts a dark shadow over your whole life. You’re constantly on edge, waiting for some unseen threat. Nightmares make it impossible to get much sleep, so you’re always tired. Without warning, panic grips you – heart pounding, palms sweating, struggling to breathe. You live in constant fear of the next trigger. Relationships are all unfulfilling. You try talking to friends and family, but they don’t understand what you’re going through. How could they when you never trust anyone enough to let your guard down? You know something needs to change, but it feels hopeless.

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.
