We are extremely passionate about working with teens and young adults who may be experiencing anger, anxiety or depression and don’t know what to do with it.
Oftentimes, teens and young adults are misunderstood by others and feel like adults assume things about them that aren’t true. When this happens it’s understandable to feel angry, frustrated, anxious and to feel like nothing is working.
Pressures Teens are Facing:
– Pressure to achieve good grades and admission to elite colleges/universities
– Performance anxiety in response to sports, performing arts or socially
– Packed schedules that don’t leave much time for fun, relaxation or rest
– Bullying and social media comparison
– Feeling misunderstood by adults in their lives often
– Identity formation and need for freedom for self expression

We understand that teens are paying attention to adults and can notice gaps between what adults sometimes say, and what they actually do. We seek to earn your trust in small moments. The young people in our sessions get to decide what we talk about and resistance is always welcome. We spend time checking in with the wisdom that your body holds and we will always remind you that we are trying to “get it right” not be right.
Our Mission: Empowerment, Resilience and Connection to the Self
In your therapeutic journey you can expect to connect with your own resilience, grit, embodiment of authenticity in the self and feelings of joy.
Learn to trust yourself and your decision making, as well as finding your inner compass and being compassionate with yourself.
We hope you trust in us to be on your team, to tailor an individualized approach to you and crack the code on living your best life.
