Wait List Only. Tired of believing counseling has to be weird/awkward? (it doesn't.) Try talking to a skilled down to earth "real person." Whether you are experiencing conflict in your relationships, feeling confused about the direction of your life, or like no one cares, counseling with me may be the breath of fresh air you are looking for! Contrary to popular belief, counseling is not "giving advice" and isn't for "weak" people who need a "crutch." Counseling helps you gain insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I provide a respectful, non-judgmental space for you and accept people from all walks of life :)

If I’m being honest, people come here to peek around and decide if you want to take the next steps to having a consultation. For the most part friends and family tell you “ just be strong-fight through it”- and you’re not use to talking about the things that bother you because you’ve spent so many years trying to avoid that fact that they even exist. But avoidance gets exhausting and doesn’t help you feel less overwhelmed or full.

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.
