Counseling: Adolescents & Young Adults

Are you concerned your teen may be having a hard time at school or with friends?
Do you have a young adult you feel is slipping away as a result of bad choices or habits?

If so, you are not alone - there are solutions to these problems.

When working with young people I start with  traditional talk therapy, often from a cognitive therapy (CBT)  or dialectical behavior (DBT) perspective.  However, I also realize that many individuals are neurodivergent and also work with clients to help them explore their identity and support their sensory needs - often using internal family systems (IFS) or a polyvagal/somatic approach.  Some of the mental health problems adolescents  & young adults seek treatment for fall into the following  categories:

• Anxiety Disorders (including School Anxiety, Social Anxiety & Anxiety Attacks)
• Bi Polar Disorder (Manic Depression)
• Bullying information
• Depression treatment (including Major Depression & Clinical Depression)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Divorce
• Eating disorder treatment (including anorexia, bulimia & emotional eating)
• Neurodiversity
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
• Personality/temperament exploration
• Relationship help
• Self-harm/Self-injury
• Sexual abuse
• Sexual assault (including date rape)
• Sexuality (including LGBT-Q)
• Spirituality (including Christian counseling)
• Stress management
• Suicidal thoughts & behaviors *
• Trauma therapy (including PTSD treatment)
  

* If you are currently suicidal please call 911 or your primary care physician.
