Individual Psychotherapy for Adolescents
Adolescence is a time of immense change and development, often bringing confusion for both teens and their parents. Early adolescents grapple with questions of belonging and what to leave behind from childhood, resulting in shifts in peer relationships, self-esteem, and parent-child dynamics. As older adolescents work to define their identities and assert their independence, they also face deeply painful emotions that are part of growing up.
This turbulent stage can contribute to symptoms of anxiety and depression, risky behaviors, and other concerning issues.
With the right guidance, adolescents can confidentially navigate these intense experiences, while parents can learn how to support their teens in ways that foster ongoing development.
With specialized training in adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I am attuned to the unique challenges faced by both adolescents and their parents during this critical developmental stage.
