Therapy for Children

and Adolescents

 

You have probably tried multiple things before you got here. You have read books, followed advice, talked to teachers, and unfortunately it hasn't been enough. I praise you for taking this step. It's never too early to start counseling, in fact, it is ALWAYS  better to start early. If your family is stressed because the tantrums seem to go on forever, if your child is too concerned about having to do everything perfectly, or they worry too much, or maybe you are concerned that they might be depressed; I may be the right person for you and your child.

 
 
Therapy for children and adolescents

Puff sometimes is in the office, he’d love to meet you!

I see children 6 and up, generally for weekly 45-50 minute sessions. I work closely with parents, as you are the key to your child's well being. Parents see me as an ally and a collaborator in the treatment of their children.

It’s hard to be a teen right now, there are so many pressures and so many areas to navigate. Your social life is probably a big stressors, it’s not easy to make and sustain meaningful relationships. Social media is great but it can also be a source of stress and pain. Sometimes you may feel rejected, other times feel like you are part of something. It feels like a roller coaster in constant motion. You may feel like everyone else has it figured out, it seems easy for them. You want it to be easier, you want it to be more peaceful in the outside and in the inside.

I can help you sort things out, a therapist is like having an ally on your side. I will try to understand you without judging you, giving you platitudes or cheering you on. I am the person you come to, to talk about your fears, your worries, your rage, your sadness and everything in between. Sometimes parents or friends can’t help, they want to help but don’t know how, and they have their own things they are going through. That’s what I am here for.

You will feel supported and understood when you work with me.
