Your teen is at a turning point, and it’s stressful for you.
The world is different than when you grew up.
School is more rigorous. Everything is fast-paced and online. It’s tough for kids to connect and work through challenges in the ways you did at that age.
School pressures, blended families, teen romances can lead your lovable teen to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and even depressed – especially at this key time when your child is trying to fit in.
You’re a great parent. You’ve tried a lot of strategies to help your teen. Patiently listening, giving them some tips, but you feel like it’s just not enough.
Let’s take some of the pressure off you.
Finally, a reliable, skilled therapist that you can trust, and your teen can also feel comfortable opening up to. I’m old enough to understand parents’ perspective but also young enough to “speak teen.”
Therapy is a a place that can help relieve the pressure both you and your teen have been feeling.
Teenagers feel safe in therapy to talk about tough feelings that are often hard to share with parents. Teens feel empowered by having their own private time to talk.
I make sure that I’m also teaching skills: stress management, anger control, using cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy (CBT/DBT), and EMDR – but in a way that makes sense for their age.
It’s simple to get started.
Let’s get started on a path toward helping your teen grow, change, and think about their lives in a positive way.
