Therapy for Teens & Young Adults
I have a passion and years of experience working with teens, families, and young adults. Teens and young adults are discovering who they are as individuals, apart from their family. This creates tension and conflict within families when they lack the support and skills to communicate, problem solve, and cope effectively. Teens and young adults benefit from therapy for these common issues:
Coping with school stress
Navigating friendships and dating
Life changes and transitions
Coping with family dynamics, parental divorce, and family conflict
Self-esteem, depression, anxiety
Body image issues
Disordered eating
Identity
Feelings of isolation
As a therapist, I understand how important it is to recognize these challenges and provide compassionate guidance and helpful tools. In therapy, teens and young adults will learn:
How to cope with difficult emotions
Assertive communication skills
How to set and maintain healthy boundaries
How to take accountability for mistakes
Problem solving skills
Positive self-talk and self-compassion
How to understand and integrate values
Conflict resolution skills
Establishing mutual respect and trust with the teens and young adults I work with is important. Contact me to learn whether therapy can help.
