Teens and Parent Collaboration

  Teens

Growing up can be complicated. Being a teenager means navigating changes in school, friendships, family, social media, relationships, and future expectations, which can feel overwhelming.

Teens may struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, self-esteem issues, or feel overwhelmed. I also work with those facing OCD, ADHD, and ASD, helping them manage challenges in school and relationships.

Signs of struggle can include withdrawal, irritability, declining grades, or simply not being themselves. Therapy offers teens a safe space to talk openly and slow down to understand their feelings and experiences. I work with teens aged 12 and older to explore their emotions and identify patterns that may be holding them back.

Therapy isn’t just about venting; it’s about fostering self-understanding, healthier coping strategies, and building confidence for meaningful change. 

Parents

I collaborate with parents, recognizing that a teen's struggles affect the entire family. Together, we can support your teen while respecting their need for independence. They don’t have to navigate this alone.
