Therapy for Teens or Adolescents

While teens are technically “children”, they are in a transition period to adulthood.  It is almost impossible for teens to sustain the maturity that we so desperately want them to grasp. I treat teens from a place of respect and understanding. I know how to keep teens interested and engaged as they learn how to help themselves maintain an emotionally and mentally healthy life. Private therapy sessions remain confidential, however if there is an important topic that comes up, I will work with your teen to be able to address it with you directly from a place of respect and collaboration. 

 Key areas where I can help: 

• offer strategies to alleviate anxiety, stress, depression, hopelessness and self doubt 

• motivate your teen to find safe, healthy coping skills to replace self harm behaviours, and sexual acting out 

• support your teen in managing anger and controlling impulsive behaviours 

• assist in coping with traumatic events including the loss of a loved one, physical, emotional or sexual abuse 

• enhance self esteem 

• cultivate a sense of belonging, competence and responsibility
