Therapy for Teens
Why it’s important
Teens have access to more information, are exposed to more social influence, and are connected to more people than any other teen in history. Having a safe and accepting space to work through the difficulties of teenage years can change the trajectory of a person's life. These are the years when youth begin to develop their sense of self, while juggling the pressures of society, family, and peer relationships. Therapy can provide a non-biased space for teens to explore these pressures and how to navigate them effectively. I have extensive experience in working with teens and their families and have a deep knowledge about treatment options ranging from outpatient, to youth with IEP’s, hospitalizations, partial hospitalization, and residential treatment.
