You’ve seen their struggle. They’re isolating and suffering from sleepless nights. You wonder why they’re not eating or if they’re hurting themselves when you’re not looking.
You second-guess every interaction, but you hate seeing them suffer alone.
You’ve spent countless hours researching and seeking advice online to better understand your teen’s needs.
You’re trying to engage in open and supportive conversations, checking in on how their feeling and offering words of encouragement.
Still, you find yourself replaying the challenging moments from the day – questioning if you did and said the right things to support your teen.
Teens are not mini-adults. They still need boundaries and support.
Our counselors help teens process difficult emotions and teach them how to respond more effectively and appropriately to their thoughts and feelings.

You’ve have already diligently tried every last parenting strategy to help your teen. Rewards and consequences clearly aren’t cutting it.
You’ve sought advice from friends, family, and other parents who have been through similar situations. What works for someone else doesn’t always work for you.
You’ve engaged the school to find additional resources and encouraged your teen to participate in hobbies and activities to boost their social engagement. These external actions may help, but they won’t heal.
You’ve opened space for heartfelt conversations and offered guidance. Sometimes all that an earnest, loving parent needs is the bridge of additional support.
This is what happens when they can fully embrace their true self, form meaningful connections, and pursue their own dreams.

We’re a group of licensed and trained counselors who are ready to guide your teen as they learn how to navigate life’s challenges.
We offer a comprehensive therapeutic process that is tailored to your teen’s unique needs and goals.
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual circumstances and the severity of your teens symptoms. Many clients start experiencing positive changes and growth within a few sessions.
Together, we will work collaboratively to help your teen find relief, develop coping skills, and create lasting positive changes in your life.
We have extensive experience working with a wide range of issues and diagnoses.
Our compassionate and skilled therapists are equipped to support individuals facing challenges such as trauma and PTSD, dissociative disorders, depression, mood and anxiety disorders, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, adjustment disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing disorder, as well as general work and life stress.
We believe in treating the person as a whole, focusing on your unique needs and circumstances to provide effective and personalized care.
Our highly skilled therapists utilize evidence-based modalities guide your teen on their journey towards healing and growth.
These proven strategies have been extensively studied and demonstrated to help clients overcome their personal challenges and thrive.
Some of the treatment modalities that we specialize in include:
We typically see clients once per week. If you need to change that to every other week later on, that’s okay, but initially once per week is best for at least the first couple of months. Any less often than every other week is not recommended, it’s just not enough support, especially initially.
Sessions are typically 1 hour. Some EMDR processing sessions can be beneficial at 90 minutes, but you will work with your teen’s therapist to figure out what’s best.
Our intake sessions are $200 and all following regular sessions are $175. We do not accept insurance, but we can provide instructions for filing a claim to use your out-of-network benefits if available.
We do offer discounted services with one of our interns on a limited basis.
We will send you a link to a client portal with all relevant practice paperwork for you to complete before your session.
Have your teen complete the questionnaire themselves so they can share their experience and symptoms from their perspective.
You can schedule or reschedule appointments from the portal and set up reminders.
The counselor will keep the content of therapy confidential in order to maintain trust with the child/teen. However, if the child discloses anything that indicates they’re in danger (self harm or suicidal ideation) we will communicate that with parents right away. We’re also mandated reporters which means we’ll report any abuse, neglect, etc. There is specific information about this in the informed consent documents.
If you have a diagnosis from a doctor, we can make recommendations for you based on that current diagnosis. If you don’t already have an official diagnosis, we can help you work with our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner partner to begin the assessment and diagnosis process and then collaborate to build the best recommendation based on your needs.
