Teen & Young Adult Therapy
Dear Parent/Guardian of Teens,
This time in your child’s life creates significant shifts in their emotional and physical development. It is common for the family dynamics and relationships to change as your child prepares for adult life. Your child’s desire for independence while still living at home or being financially dependent on you can bring challenges for you and your family. Teens benefit a lot having a positive adult in their life (who isn’t their parent) to talk with.
If you are concerned about your child or feel they could benefit from meeting with me, to you the parent I say “trust your intuition, you know your child best”. I am happy to consult with parents as you help your child navigate through the process of finding a therapist.
I also work directly with parents in Parenting Support. I will help you through any challenges you are facing as a parent and support you in strengthening your relationship with your child.
Dear Teen/Young Adult,
This time of your life brings a lot of changes and challenges as you navigate the pressures of family, school, peer/dating relationships and thoughts about your future. It’s possible you feel the adults in your life care, but it’s hard to talk to them or they can’t possibly understand what you are going through. Feelings of being lonely and misunderstood are common. Being a teenager and young adult once myself I know how tough this time of your life can be!
Meeting with me will be an opportunity for you to share anything on your mind and heart. I want to hear what is going on in your life from your point of view and help you get through difficulties you are facing. Let’s see if I am a good fit to be a supportive adult in your life, Contact Me to set up an initial consultation.
