Individual Therapy

The only thing more difficult than being a teenager, is parenting a teenager. Parenting through the teen years presents a unique set of challenges and difficulties, and can make a parent feel like they are losing their mind, and at times like they are simply failing on all fronts. 

​

You are not losing your mind, nor are you failing! Parenting of teens is a universally difficult experience. You may feel like your teen is out of control and you have no power to influence their behavior anymore, you may feel personally hurt by their increasing distance from you or potentially disrespectful or rude interactions, and it may bring up a lot of self-doubt and strong emotions that are hard to manage. Supporting your teen through a mental health diagnosis such as depression or anxiety can feel overwhelming and may provoke anxiety and worry for the well-being of your child.

​

I aim to provide a space to normalize your struggles and help you feel validated and supported in all of the challenges you are facing. We will work together to learn ways to feel secure in who you are as a parent and not let your teen dictate how you feel about your worth or your abilities. We will identify ways to still find joy and connection in your relationship with your teen, and making sure you have realistic expectations in regards to what to expect out of your relationship. 

​

As with any season of life, this too will pass. As your teen develops and changes, so will your relationship with them, and through the rockiness you will get to know your teen in new ways, and redefine your relationship and your place in their life as they grow into young adulthood. And I'm here to back you up as you work through that.
