Adolescent Therapy

The period of adolescence and young adulthood comes with its own world of experiences. As a native Manhattanite, I am familiar with the unique pressures and dynamics that often accompany growing up in a city.  Adolescent/young adult therapy provides the opportunity to have a safe, nonjudgemental and dedicated place to explore feelings, and collaboratively develop tools to help navigate this very unique period of life. 

 

I often work with adolescents and young adults who: 

 

• Are experiencing ongoing feelings of sadness, difficulty with motivation, or who are no longer enjoying activities/experiences that they once did. 

• Find themselves worrying or ruminating and that it is affecting every day life and decision making. 

• Need a space to explore relationship dynamics including friendships, romantic relationships and/or dating. 

• Often find themselves fighting or disagreeing with a sibling and/or family member. 

• Are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or frustrated by school work, extracurriculars or by the college application process.

• Find themselves comparing or feeling pressure from peers and/or experience feelings of low self-esteem and self-worth.

• Are experiencing a life transition, including starting a new school, moving to a new place, or beginning/finishing college. 

• Have experienced a traumatic event whether as a child or in recent years. 

• Are struggling with substance misuse or addiction or have a parent/loved one who has struggled with either.
