Are you experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression? Are they causing you to have difficulty with your relationships, work, or self-esteem? Most of us struggle with these obstacles at some point in our lives but you shouldn't have to manage them alone. Therapy can be a great support for anyone, especially if you are looking to vent, be heard, and feel understood.

The conflicts and problems associated with living in this difficult world start in childhood and persist into adult life. Effective treatment enables patients to free themselves of the chronic unhappiness and dissatisfaction that have been too long part of their lives. This requires the special training and experience that I have acquired in my professional life. And, it requires a patient who is prepared to change.

Are you looking for a supportive, safe space to process and share your thoughts and feelings? Have you tried to push through depression, codependency, low self esteem, anxiety or weak interpersonal relationships for a long time? Surrender your old story & become willing to embrace a new one. I’ve felt alone, misunderstood and hopeless, and know the value of having had the support of those who believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. Fortunately, there is a way to change behaviors by learning to think and feel differently.

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.
