Therapy for
Young People
(Kids, Teens & Young Adults)
We're in an exciting yet challenging time to be young. Young people face pressures in school, among friends, peers, on-line, and with family. These are often things that parents didn't have to deal with when they were teens.
Young people can absolutely find and benefit from someone who "gets" them. A connection with an adult outside of their family can be an important cornerstone in their life. I enjoy filling that role with young people.
Common reasons why young people seek therapy include:
-
Coping with stress
-
Depression and anxiety
-
Exploring self/identity
-
Exploring sexual and gender identity
-
Navigating romantic relationships (and loss)
-
Behavioral issues or reducing risk behaviors
-
Anger issues and/or reducing conflict
-
Processing trauma, loss and grief
-
Adjusting to parents' divorce/separation
-
Conflict with parents or family
-
Test anxiety
-
Challenges in school or educational environment
The time we spend in our sessions supports young people to feel understood and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
