You're tired, frustrated and just want peace at home! What works for one of your children doesn't work for the other and that's frustrating. Wish your teen girl came with an instruction manual? Your teen seems lonely, withdrawn, struggling with social issues, or can't control their anger and you feel hopeless because you don't know what to do to help. As parents we want our children to be healthy and happy yet sometimes we can't fix the situation for them and that makes us feel a failure as a parent.

Not sure where to go or what to do, but something needs to change? Your child comes home with misconduct reports from school and nothing you try is helping. Your teen is struggling with peers, depression or anxiety and you want to know how to help. Maybe you are not a parent and life’s challenges have become overwhelming and difficult to face. Stop and take a deep breath. Life isn’t easy and the challenges can be difficult to navigate. Parents become overwhelmed and frustrated when they feel like they cannot help their children cope. Children can struggle socially and emotionally and as parents we don’t always have the answers.

I see clients both virtually and in person; and in our work together, you will create or reconnect with a life worth living. You will come to see emotions - even the painful emotions of anger, sadness and guilt - as signals that something needs your attention rather than something to be avoided. You will gain an understanding of who you are and how you are, which will facilitate personal changes you may want to make or help you navigate challenges you are facing. And maybe, most importantly, you will strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others.

For many of us, working on emotional and relational issues is something we tend to put off until life gets too painful to manage on our own. We struggle to get back to what life used to be, but we cannot seem to find our way. Marriages dissolve, relationships crumble, routine tasks seem overwhelming, and the life for which God made us appears to be permanently out of reach. Perhaps you are reading this now because you are looking for a change. Your new beginning is one step away, and I would be honored to take that journey with you.

Today our complicated and fast-paced lives are full of pressures that challenge us in countless ways. "How can I find happiness in my marriage?", "How do I cope with...?", and "Why do I feel so out of control?" are some of the questions I hear from clients seeking to understand their life journey and questioning what they can do to reach their true potential - individually, as a couple, or as a family. Soul searching is rarely an easy path to take, yet wanting to achieve an emotionally healthy life is usually the motivator which begins the process.

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.
