I work with my clients holistically using the body, nervous system, energy, emotions and cognitions and believe the path to healing lies not only in our thoughts, but also in our body and our energy. I believe we are all whole, even in our pain and suffering. My intention is to help my clients rediscover their wholeness, vibrance and fullness in life by working with individuals on a mind-body-spirit connection. I work with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, issues with self-esteem, ADHD or in life transitions.

Do you worry that you are “too much” or “not enough” for other people? Do you struggle to form and maintain close relationships? Maybe you find yourself engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors within romantic relationships or are experiencing an on-going sense of disconnection from other people. If you are struggling with feelings of inadequacy, difficulties regulating your emotions in relationships, or frequently needing validation from others, you are not alone. Humans are biologically programmed to live in secure, trusting relationships with others. All of us have an innate need to feel safe, valued, and loved.

Each one of us experiences psychological challenges in life that we try to meet using whatever strategies we know. However, sometimes the challenges become too great and our coping strategies stop working. This can be compounded by the fact that we often internalize messages from our society, however well-intentioned, that limit our abilities to understand ourselves and our world. It is in these moments that we can use support from therapists to turn down the noise of the world so that we may find our own inner wisdom about who we are, what we need, and ultimately how to heal.

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.
