WHat does teen therapy look like?

Our current generation of teens are navigating through an increasingly complex time, and often can be the most resistant to therapy. Adolescence is a time where we find ourselves caught between looming adulthood and the memory of childhood, which often creates a perfect storm of confusion.  My job is to build a trusting, safe relationship to allow them space to process any and all challenges they are currently facing with someone they feel comfortable with.  With rates of depression, anxiety and suicide steadily on the rise, it’s now more important than ever to allow them space to learn the tools necessary for better, safer futures.

Will i get to know what my kid talks about?

Therapy is sacred, and totally confidential, with the exception of a few rules. If I have serious concerns regarding your child’s safety, or the safety of others, I will make an informed decision to call upon the necessary support lines. Otherwise, this gets to be a space where your teen has full, uninhibited freedom to really work through whatever they are currently navigating.

Sometimes, it makes sense to bring the family into the work, and in these cases, your teen and I will make this choice together.
