We offer group and individual sessions.

Being a teen in today’s world is unlike any other period in our history. Rates of substance abuse, car accidents, and pregnancies are down in many parts of the country, but rates of depression, anxiety, and self-harm have increased. Our teens face stressors like cyber bullying, online sexualized behavior, peer pressure, and access to violent and pornographic content all in the palm of their hands. Our world is becoming more connected, but we are growing father apart in many ways. Let us help you reconnect with your teen, teach them helpful coping skills, and provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore their strengths and increase their sense of mastery over the stress and anxiety of today’s world. We treat self-harming behaviors, like cutting, as well as anxiety in teens.

Requirements for
Working With Your
Teen

An integral part of therapy for any adolescent is family involvement. I do require participation and consent from both parents /guardians in most cases. To learn more about my requirements for working with your teen, please click on the photo on the left. 

Mandated Reporting

As licensed mental health professionals, we are mandated reporters.  This means that we must adhere
to the laws if a teen discloses abuse to us. For more information on this, click on photo on the left.
