Adolescent and
Young Adult Therapy

Adolescence and young adulthood are critical stages of personal growth and development, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social changes.

During this time, individuals face various challenges, such as navigating identity formation, managing academic or career pressures, establishing healthy relationships, and coping with newfound responsibilities and expectations.

Therapy can be immensely beneficial for you or your teen as it provides a safe and confidential space to explore these challenges and develop the necessary skills to navigate them successfully.

Treatment Modalities I Use

Play Therapy

Even for teens and young adults, creative modalities like art, music, and sandtray provide a nonverbal outlet to explore thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to express directly. These approaches tap into the unconscious and support self-discovery, emotional regulation, and healing through symbolic expression in a safe, contained space.

Psychoanalytic

Psychoanalytic therapy helps adolescents and young adults explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape their current emotions, behaviors, and sense of self. Grounded in an attachment-based framework, this approach uses the therapeutic relationship as a secure base for reflection and emotional growth.

Mindfulness-Based

Mindfulness-based approaches help adolescents and young adults build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in the present moment. By fostering self-regulation, reducing anxiety, and improving focus, mindfulness can support clearer thinking, emotional balance, and healthier coping strategies.
