There is help for you and your teen.

Therapy can become a place where your teen can get the tools they need to thrive in our complicated world. Learn to use tools that are effective and manageable for the adolescent brain and development, in an environment that is authentic and supportive.

Therapy can help teens discover their inner resources, and strengths, as well as what true support looks and feels like. In therapy, teens can strengthen their sense of identity and self-esteem, becoming more skilled with boundaries, self-care and the ability to participate in healthy relationships.
