Teen Therapy in New York State
Support for Teens Navigating Anxiety, Emotions, and Life Challenges
Adolescence can be a challenging time for both teens and their families. Many teens experience overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, or difficulty coping with school, relationships, and life changes.
I provide therapy for teens throughout New York State via telehealth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where teens can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood.
Signs Your Teen May Benefit from Therapy
It can be difficult to know when to seek help. Some common signs include:
• Increased anxiety or excessive worry
• Persistent sadness or withdrawal
• Irritability or mood changes
• Difficulty managing emotions
• Self-harm behaviors or concerning thoughts
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Struggles with school or social relationships
If you’re noticing these changes, therapy can provide important support during this stage.
How Therapy Helps Teens
Therapy offers teens a space where they can talk openly without fear of judgment.
In sessions, teens can:
• Learn healthy ways to cope with stress and emotions
• Build confidence and self-awareness
• Improve communication skills
• Develop problem-solving strategies
• Feel heard and supported
My Approach to Teen Therapy
I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support teens in managing emotions and building coping skills.
These approaches help teens:
• Understand their thoughts and feelings
• Develop healthier ways of coping
• Improve emotional regulation
• Build resilience
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each teen’s needs and personality. I strive to create an environment where teens feel comfortable, respected, and supported.
Working with Parents and Families
Supporting a teen often involves collaboration with parents or caregivers. My goal is to support both the teen and the family system in a way that feels helpful and balanced.
When appropriate, I work with families to:
• Provide guidance and support
• Improve communication
• Help reinforce skills outside of therapy
