Individual Counseling for Teens & Adolescents
Finding a therapist who understands you can be hard, and going to therapy can feel scary. It feels like most adults are pretty removed from the experience of being your age, and that can be isolating and lonely.
We know that trust is something that is earned over time and through experiences of feeling seen and accepted. We also know that we need to invest in building trust with you so you can feel comfortable expressing yourself fully and authentically. We take that responsibility seriously!
Let’s find common ground together and go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We want to support you to find the skills, language, and tools to navigate the world in a way that feels most true to you.
We trust that you are the expert on yourself and we can’t wait to get to know you!
Being a teen is hard! Adolescents often face struggles specific to their life stage related to identity exploration and social belonging. This life stage also presents unique strengths in that teens are often able to quickly absorb new information and adapt to new situations, due to a concept known as neuroplasticity.
As teens navigate questions about forging their own way, we work closely with them to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust while working to involve parents when clinically beneficial and relevant.
