Adolescent and Family Therapy

Helping Teens and Families Grow Together

Adolescence is a time of rapid change, discovery, and growing independence. It can also be a time of confusion, conflict, and emotional overwhelm—for both teens and their families. Whether your adolescent is struggling with anxiety, depression, identity questions, school pressures, or family conflict, therapy can offer a space to be heard, understood, and supported.

Therapy for Teens

Teenagers today face a unique set of challenges. Social media, academic stress, friendships, and big questions about identity and the future can lead to emotional distress. I work with teens to create a safe, confidential space where they can speak freely and explore what’s going on in their inner and outer worlds.

Common areas of focus:

  • Anxiety and stress management

  • Depression and mood concerns

  • Self-esteem and body image

  • Identity and LGBTQ+ support

  • Academic and peer pressure

  • Family conflict and communication challenges

Therapy with adolescents often incorporates talk, creativity, and mindfulness—depending on what fits your teen best.

Family Therapy

Sometimes individual support isn’t enough—family dynamics may need attention, too. Family therapy can strengthen understanding, rebuild trust, and create more effective ways of communicating.

Together, we can work on:

  • Reducing conflict and increasing connection

  • Navigating changes such as divorce, relocation, or school transitions

  • Supporting parents in understanding adolescent development

  • Aligning parenting strategies

  • Creating more open and respectful dialogue

Whether we meet as a full family, with a parent and teen, or in rotating sessions, the goal is always to support healing and connection.

My Approach

I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family systems work, and mindfulness-based strategies, always tailored to your family’s needs. My priority is building a trusting relationship with each person in the room—so that change can happen collaboratively, not forcefully.

Family is not about perfection. It’s about connection. Therapy provides the space to truly hear one another.
