Teen Therapy

Navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence can present significant challenges for families, but therapy offers a valuable intervention that equips individuals with essential tools, unwavering support, and much-needed relief. Having personally engaged with teenagers since 2012, I derive immense fulfillment from building meaningful connections with the younger demographic. Over the years, my focus has centered on assisting teens grappling with high-risk behaviors, exhibiting resistance to therapeutic interventions, or transitioning from more intensive levels of care. I also take great satisfaction in guiding adolescents as they navigate the intricate journey from childhood to young adulthood.

Collaborating with teens necessitates a commitment to upholding confidentiality between the adolescent and therapist, ensuring a safe space for open dialogue and personal growth. While I may not disclose every detail of our sessions, I am dedicated to facilitating regular check-ins to address your concerns, align treatment goals, and track overall progress. Moreover, should any safety issues arise, rest assured that I prioritize transparency and will promptly involve you in devising the most suitable course of action.
