Therapy for Teens
Life as a teenager can be tough.
You might be dealing with school pressure, relationships, or just a lot of emotions that feel out of control.
Maybe you’re:
anxious, withdrawn, or stuck in self-doubt.
Maybe conflicts with family or friends feel more intense, or it’s hard to express what’s going on inside.
These struggles are normal, but when they start to feel too heavy to carry alone, therapy can help.
We’ll also explore whether and how to involve your parents, ensuring you feel supported in a way that works best for you.
Common Challenges Teens Face:
Anxiety: Constant worry, fear of failure, or social anxiety.
Depression: Feeling sad, disconnected, or lacking motivation.
Body Image: Struggling with self-esteem or body image issues.
School Stress: Overwhelmed by academic or social pressure.
Trauma: Dealing with past or present trauma.

A Space to Be Yourself
How I Help Teens
Through a compassionate, psychodynamic, and creative approach, I create a space where teens can explore their emotions safely, without judgment or pressure.
Therapy helps teens better understand themselves, build emotional resilience, and strengthen their confidence in who they are.
My Approach to Teen Therapy
I meet teens where they are — balancing deep listening with practical support. Depending on their needs, I integrate talk therapy, creative methods (art, imagery), and emotional regulation strategies.
When appropriate, I also work collaboratively with parents to support the teen’s growth outside the therapy room.
Supporting Your Teen Through Change
Is your Teen struggling with big emotions?
As a parent, it can be difficult to watch your teen struggle with emotions, stress, or low self-esteem. You may notice them withdrawing, acting out, or becoming overwhelmed by things that seem difficult to understand. You want to help, but sometimes, they may not feel ready to open up.
That’s where therapy can help.
Why Teen Therapy Matters
The teen years are full of big emotions, self-discovery, and major life changes. Sometimes, the inner struggles teens face can feel overwhelming, lonely, or invisible to others.
What you can expect from therapy:
A Safe, Private Space: I respect your teen’s privacy. What they share in therapy stays between us, while I also keep you informed about how to best support them.
Creative, Age-Appropriate Methods: Therapy is not just about talking. I use creative techniques like art, play, and storytelling to help your teen express what they may not be able to put into words.
Collaboration: As a parent, you are a vital part of the process. I’ll stay in close communication with you, offering guidance on how you can best support your teen through their journey.
The goal isn’t to fix your teen but to give them the tools and emotional understanding they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
