Do you find yourself reliving painful memories, feeling as though the past is still happening? Maybe you experience sudden feelings of fear, panic, or sadness that seem to come out of nowhere. Perhaps you avoid certain places, people, or situations because they remind you of something you’d rather forget. These responses can make it difficult to feel safe and present in your daily life, leaving you isolated, exhausted, and disconnected from others. Trauma can have deep and lasting effects, but no matter its origin, it’s possible to heal and reclaim your life.

Every individual comes with a community and a cultural identification existing within the context of greater society. Through an emotion focused/ family systems lens, I enjoy listening to and collaborating with individuals, couples, and families to therapeutically address each of these layers. Together, we focus on gaining greater awareness of emotions and the relationship to self and others, integrating the different parts of self we all experience, and connecting to natural supports that exist within our environments.

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.
