One-on-One Therapy Sessions for Children and Teens
Adolescence and our teenage years can be some of the most fun times of our lives, but they can also be some of the most difficult. The pressure to get good grades, build strong friendships, meet family expectations, and discover who you are can sometimes feel like way too much—but you don’t have to deal with it alone.

ADD/ADHD

Parent-Teen Conflicts
School Refusal
Peer Conflicts/Friendship Problems
Perfectionism
PTSD (Abuse, sexual and domestic violence, etc.)

We believe in using a collaborative approach when treating children and teens to ensure successful, lasting outcomes. For adolescents who are 17 or younger, we typically start off with an initial intake session with the parent(s)/guardian(s) before beginning to work with your child 1-on-1. This helps us to get a full picture of what is going on and to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. We are also open to working in conjunction with any other providers your child may have (guidance counselors, psychiatrists, etc.), as a unified treatment team can make all the difference.
-
Making sure your child feels safe is our number one priority. For this reason, we take great care to provide them with the confidentiality and privacy that they deserve (and have a right to!). We understand that this can be a delicate matter, so our therapists would be happy to answer any questions you may have about what your state’s guidelines are regarding adolescent patient confidentiality.

Our therapists specialize in treating adolescents because we understand how crucial this time can be to your child’s development into a happy and healthy adult. We remember what it was like to be a teenager and empathize with all of the ups and downs of adolescence . Our therapists are relatable while maintaining the professionalism that treating such a complex population requires.
