Teens and Family Therapy

I work with both teenagers (13+) and families in resolving conflicts and navigating through this transitional space. Some of the themes we explore in sessions are:

• stress, school and academic demands

• navigating difficult emotions, anger, fear, sadness, depression and suicide

• friendship, groups, belonging, bullying

• drug use, risks, education, safety and harm reduction

• identity, transitions, self-image and self-worth

• vocation: what do I want to do with my life? is there a calling?

• learning compassionate communication (NVC)

With each person we will find the best way to work these themes. For some this is talk therapy, with others we will use expressive arts or movement. When beginning this work I ask to meet with parents/guardians a few clarify current needs and goals around this process. I’m open to working individually with teens as well as doing family therapy and we also discuss this at the beginning of the process.
