Adolescent and Teen Therapy

"Within the grounded and intentional cocoon of therapy, we nurture the tender buds of healing in children, tending not just to their wounds but also to the flourishing garden of their holistic well-being. Through empathy, understanding, and gentle guidance, we sow the seeds of resilience, allowing them to bloom into their true, vibrant selves."

Navigating the adolescent teen and tween years involves significant developmental shifts, making it a period of both growth and challenges for families. When we engage with children and adolescents we approach them as unique individuals intricately woven into a network of family, peers, education, and community support. Within this interactive framework, a therapeutic relationship becomes a crucial anchor, especially during times of stress and transition.

​

Our approach is rooted in empathy, creativity, flexibility, and playfulness, creating a safe space where teens and preteens feel not only accepted but also free to explore and understand themselves. It's a journey toward discovering better ways to navigate challenges and solve problems.

​

For parents, we extend an invitation to actively participate in the therapeutic process, whether through consultations or co-therapy sessions as needed. Acknowledging the complexities that can arise with learning needs, sensory processing issues, or other neurodivergent expressions, I collaborate with other providers involved in their lives for comprehensive treatment planning. I understand the challenges of managing multiple providers and offer support to parents navigating through this complexity.

​

In cases where teens have experienced trauma, we integrate trauma focused therapy and evidence-based treatment, into therapy to foster healing and resilience. Together, let's create a therapeutic journey that not only supports teens but also empowers parents in their role as vital partners in this transformative process.
