When we feel consistently stuck, unheard, or confused, it can be difficult to live in our own skin. Our old coping skills do not work anymore, and we find ourselves needing more tools and support to move forward. I work with clients to cultivate goals that help them move closer to their healthiest and most authentic self. I utilize an integrative approach incorporating person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and expressive arts to support you as you empower yourself.

You feel off track of where you want to be in this phase of life, navigating difficult transitions. You are mentally, emotionally, physically overwhelmed by the adjustments being made at rapid pace. Maybe you're a young adult just venturing out on your own or navigating new relationships and figuring out who you really are. Maybe you're a senior citizen, dealing with health issues, caring for a spouse at the end of their days or maybe you've just said your final goodbyes. Or perhaps you are right in the middle of life (like me), trying to navigate kids, aging parents, career transitions, home-life balance and midlife marriages.

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.
