Adolescent Therapy

We work with adolescents, as well as their families, to assist them in creating a strong psychological foundation for ongoing development and growth in a caring and supportive environment. We believe parents play a large role in supporting the therapeutic process, and as such, we work to actively involve parents in their child’s treatment in ways that feel respectful to the child’s individual therapeutic process, while also encouraging parents to collaborate with their child’s therapist to continue to support their adolescent.
