COUNSELING FOR TEEN

 I am a therapist of choice for kids ages 6 and up. If you are concerned that your child or teenager shows signs of worry, irritability, trauma, or self-harm, I would like to help.I use a variety of techniques to help children and teens feel comfortable, look forward to sessions and express themselves. My therapy work with younger children may involve role-playing, drawing, play dough, and games. I know how hard it is to watch your child struggle. Working with your child and teen in counseling will be a collaborative experience between your family and me. Parent education is also one of my passions.In my counseling with children and teens, I draw from the work of Dr. Dan Seigel and attachment theory. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is very helpful in my therapy with teens. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR and IFS are also very helpful in helping children and teens process trauma and their worries. I am a trained facilitator in Circle of Security Parenting™. This is a parenting component that is central to understanding your child’s needs and how to meet them while building and maintaining a secure attachment (could use the word relationship instead)

First Session

What do we focus on?

Treatment Plan

 Upon scheduling, you will receive an intake packet with essential information and forms.

The goal in this first session is to understand, from your perspective, what it's like to be you in your relationship. You'll share your "story of us" and what brought you in. 


Let's get a glimpse into what you experience now and what you hope for.

We will collaborate to design a treatment plan and therapy that works for you.

What if we experience...

We focus on naming what you do that works. 

You may already be doing things that sustain and improve relationships over time. 

We name them, claim them, and use them.


We also discover what you do not know yet. We learn and practice the skills that 

grow relationships over time. 

We do things differently.


We also explore barriers, heal ruptures in the relationships, and identify parts of you that might be interfering with movement toward your developing sense of a life worth living. 

We name them, claim them, and heal them.

Do we really need to come in?

Really, only you know. If parts of you have a hunch to come in then I'd say yes, it's probably worth at least one session.


Sometimes others see something that we don't see, and sometimes they do have good recommendations. If others in your life think it would be a good idea, it often is.


 Therapy can definitely work and is supportive, even if you think you don't need it.


Information, self-help, and education are great. In and of themselves―they are often not enough.

I just encourage you to not wait too long, when habits are entrenched. If you already have, there is still plenty of hope for change if you have just enough will, there is a way.


If you are fortunate to access support through a trained therapist, you are enriched

FAQs

  • How much will it cost? Each session is $140. At the beginning of therapy, I  can give you an educated estimate for the number of sessions, given your situation.   If sessions are limited we will focus on the most impactful interventions. There are limited sliding scale slots, and there are some organizations that can sometimes partially scholarship people.  
  • How often will we need to come in? Once I know your situation I will recommend a frequency of sessions. Sometimes the schedule has more to do with this, but my ideal is to start out with 4-6 consecutive weekly sessions to gain traction. Then we can spread them out from there. 
  • What if one of us wants to try counseling more than the other? This is not uncommon. It's still worth coming in at least once. Therapy is often not what folks think it is. It can be helpful and a relief to be heard by a trained, unbiased professional. Even in one session progress can be made.
