Adolescent Individual Therapy
Therapy is most successful when clients are engaged and trust working with their therapist. It’s therefore my goal to build an alliance with the client.
Ages 12+ (Tweens & Teens)
50-55 Minute Individual Sessions - Weekly/Biweekly
A treatment plan will be developed after an initial biopsychosocial assessment using approaches including but not limited to: DBT, TF-CBT, and Rogerian. Read more about therapeutic modalities here.
I specialize in working with youth to address concerns including but not limited to: Anxiety, Gender Exploration, Emotion Dysregulation, and Executive Dysfunction. Read more about areas of focus here.
60-90 Minute Family Sessions - As Needed
Therapy is even more successful when caregivers are involved in the therapeutic process. For clients that feel safe to do so, caregiver participation is encouraged!
This does not mean that caregivers are present for individual sessions, it means that if clients are learning skills, caregivers are encouraged to meet with the clinician to learn skills, and review the treatment approach as well. This helps increase the maintenance and reinforcement of skillful and effective behavior at home.
60 Minute 1:1 DBT Skills Training for 8 to 9 Week Modules
With the collaboration of the client, and honoring the privacy and boundaries of both caregiver and client, we can find ways to facilitate the growth being cultivated in therapy at home as well.
