Therapy for Teens and Kids

If you are a parent trying your best to support your child, yet you are struggling to help them manage anxiety, ADHD, or other emotional and behavioral challenges, you are one of many.

Individual therapy can provide a space for teens and kids to build self-awareness and acquire new skills for making positive changes. Your child can learn how to recognize their strengths and areas for growth so they are able to think and act in more helpful ways. The insights and strategies they develop in therapy can be used to improve their responses to difficult situations and their approach to dealing with problems in relationships.

Individual Therapy for Teens and Kids

For various reasons, many of the teens and kids I work with struggle to regulate their emotions and behavior or communicate effectively and resolve conflicts in their relationships. In our sessions, I help my child clients identify what they want to work on and develop skills and strategies that fit with their needs and abilities. I also talk with families that I work with about how we can balance creating a safe space for the child and involving the parents/caregivers in the therapy process.

I offer individual therapy for teens and kids (8+) who are experiencing challenges related to:

  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Relationship issues with family, friends, or peers

  • Low self-esteem

  • Perfectionism

  • Trauma and stressful life changes

  • Identity exploration

  • Substance use

Parenting Support

Parents are an important part of their child’s treatment and often benefit from learning strategies that can help them support their child’s individual therapy.

For most of my child clients, I meet with their parents for biweekly or monthly sessions depending on the needs of each family. We use these sessions to discuss the parents’ concerns regarding their child as well as practical information and strategies that can help the parents better understand and support their child. Parent sessions are also an opportunity for us to evaluate their child’s progress in therapy and at home so we can make changes to our treatment plan if something is not working.
