Therapy for Teens

Being a teenager is hard! 

Not only is your body changing but your brain is too.  In fact, research has shown that teenage brains go through a process of complete rewiring which doesn’t stop until your mid-twenties!  

And while this is happening, somehow you are expected to do well in everything, make the right choices when you are allowed to, and live with other people’s rules and expectations on a daily basis.

Therapy can be a place to vent and learn a little more about yourself.

It can also be helpful to hear that many teenagers struggle with similar feelings and dilemmas.  

Together we can figure out tools to better cope with the pressures you may be feeling.  And remember, what we talk about in individual therapy sessions remains confidential (in other words between us), except for a very few exceptions.  

There may be times when it helps to meet with you and your parent/s together even if just for a session or two. 

Often parents and teens find themselves having the same fights again and again, even when they don’t want to be yelling at each other.  I can help you break that cycle and understand each other better, which usually leads to stronger relationships, and a much more peaceful home!
