When I was Dean of Student Services at a school for teens at risk for drug addiction, unwanted pregnancy, and other self-destructive behaviors, I recognized that many of these teens were depressed, anxious, or suffering from traumatic experiences. In 2008, I earned my degree in social work from Adelphi University and most recently, I completed the three year Child Adolescent Training Psychotherapy Program at the William Alanson White Institute. My training in early emotional development is the foundation for my work with people of all ages.

I utilize the internal personas of your child, adolescent, and adult selves to give voice to the parts of you that have been severed, ignored or forgotten.
There are times when it is too challenging to deal with significant changes on our own. Whether we are experiencing shifts in our relationships, a separation, dealing with divorce, taking responsibilty for your finances, raising kids, parenting adult children, or allowing the good to flow, we all need support. Sometimes our bodies signal to us that we need help, evidenced by our sleeping (or not) patterns, our (scheduling) eating, and our (high and low) moods. I like to incorporate mindfulness tools to assist you in developing a 'calm' within yourself as you unpack and place problems in their proper perspective.

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.
