Adolescent Therapy

My approach when working with adolescents and families is a child-centered approach. This includes learning the family struggles from parent or caregiver/ guardian, learning the adolescent’s developmental level, and how that adolescent interacts with the family. We will work together to create a treatment plan to meet the goals of the adolescent and parent.

Common Issues addressed in Child- Centered Therapy but not limited to:

·       Anxiety

·       Depression

·       Adjustment (divorce, blended family)

·       Grief/ Loss

·       Defiance/ Disobedience

·       Academic Behavior issues at school/ home

·       Trauma History

·       Social Issues (bullying, social skills training)
