Therapy for Teens

Supporting Teen Girls in Snohomish

Have things gotten bad enough that your parents have noticed and want you to talk to someone?

Maybe you’ve been fighting with your parents more often, or perhaps you are failing classes. You may be struggling to do your homework and chores, or simply not getting out of bed at all. Perhaps you’re feeling like things will never get better.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Struggling to keep up with school work

  • Feeling disinterested in enjoyable activities

  • Distancing yourself from friends and family

Teen therapy can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can feel normal again. You can be happy. You can be confident. And I can help you get there.

 

Teen Therapy helps you do 3 things

1.

Identify the root of the problems you’re experiencing.

2.

Understand the connection between past experiences and your current difficulties.

3.

Learn the tools that will help resolve your problems, so you can move forward living your life happily and confidently.

I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to teen therapy comes from a place of hope: believing that there is nothing inherently wrong with you, but that you simply don’t have the tools to get unstuck by yourself.

You don’t have to live life feeling unworthy and a failure. I can help you get there.

FAQs

  • We will meet for 55-minute sessions weekly or bi-weekly depending on your needs. During our session, you will have the opportunity to discuss things that have come up in between sessions or any other topic you would like to focus on, and if you don’t have anything in particular that you’d like to talk about, we will focus on your goals. In addition to talk therapy, you will learn new skills that you can begin using right away, have opportunities to play therapeutic games, and do art depending on what works best for you.

  • There is no set time that you need to be in therapy. Ultimately, it’s up to you on the appropriate length of therapy depending on your goals. Some teens just need a few skills and are happy to be on their way, while others like to dig deep and find lasting solutions for their problems.

  • No. Once you turn 13, you must provide written consent for providers to have contact with parents. However, if safety is a concern, I must tell your parents of the safety risk regardless if you provide permission or not.  I will always tell you before I contact your parents and give you the option to be a part of the conversation.

  • Reach out to schedule your free 20-minute consultation with me. During the call, I will answer any questions you may have, learn more about what you’re struggling with, and tell you about myself. We will get you scheduled for your intake appointment if we think we will be a good fit.
