Individual Therapy for Teens
Being a teen can be really rough.
Today's high expectation, social media filled world can make life feel beyond overwhelming. We can work issues impacting you including:
Depression
Feelings that go past feeling "mid" or out of it. Sadness that keeps you from enjoying life and being with friends and family can be very impactful.
Anxiety
When worrying about school, relationships, and day-to-day activities feels more intense than it should, or it is getting in the way and it's causing even more stress.
Difficulties with Parents/Family
Seeing things from others perspectives can feel impossible. We'll work on learning balancing understanding with making sure your opinions are heard and validated.
Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideation
Both of these are more common than a lot of people would think, and are extremely hard to live with. We will help you move towards feeling better about life and understanding where these thoughts and behaviors come from.
LGBTQIA+
I am proud to provide a safe and welcoming space to navigate gender and sexual identity. Sharing your identity, let alone understanding it, can be beyond challenging. We'll go at your pace and help you feel comfortable with where you are at.
School Pressure
This deserves its own category, especially in our area. Taking some pressure off and learning ways to make going through school easier is something we can work on together.
Making and Keeping Friends
Nobody teaches us how to make friends or act in social situations and we're left to figure it out on our own. We can problem solve and work on ways to grow your friend group and be comfortable.
