The teen years can be especially challenging. Adolescents often face:

• Intense peer pressure

• Academic demands

• Developmental need for autonomy, belonging, and having their voice heard

• Changing bodies, hormones, and sexuality

• Body shame and low self-esteem

• Substance use and social media

• Burnout and fear of "launching" into adulthood

• Video game addiction

• And, more! It's a lot!!!!

 

Teens need a village, including family, friends, community, and sometimes therapy. I provide a supportive, confidential, nonjudgmental space where teens can explore their experiences, learn tools to navigate challenges, practice healthy forms of expression, and have their identity and voice respected and celebrated.
