Therapy for Kids & Teens (Ages 10+)
A space where growing up doesn’t have to feel so confusing or heavy.
Being a kid or teen today is hard.
This age group (roughly 10–18) is in one of the most important developmental stages of life — a period where they’re trying to figure out who they are, where they fit, and what they believe… all while having very little control over their world.
According to Erikson, kids and teens in this stage are navigating:
Industry vs. Inferiority: Am I capable? Do I measure up?
Identity vs. Role Confusion: Who am I, and who am I becoming?
And they’re doing all of this while receiving nonstop feedback — from school, social media, peers, adults, culture, and their own inner critic.
It’s a lot.
Therapy gives them a place to breathe.
Does this sound familiar:
Your child or teen might be:
Overwhelmed by school, friendships, or social pressure
Struggling with big emotions they can’t identify or talk about
Feeling unsure of who they are or how they fit in
Wrestling with confidence, comparison, or perfectionism
Wanting more independence but also needing support
Feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or “too much”
If even a few of these fit, it is normal and challenging. Therapy gives them space to sort through it.
You may be navigating
Professional burnout or compassion fatigue
Emotional exhaustion and detachment
Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no
Pressure to constantly perform or achieve
Losing a sense of self outside of work or caregiving
Parenting and professional demands colliding
Feeling responsible for everyone else’s well-being
My Approach
Support that meets them where they are at.
Kids and teens between 10–18 are moving through years shaped by self-doubt, pressure, feedback, and the deep desire to figure out who they are.
In therapy, they get:
Space to express feelings without judgment
Support in understanding and naming their emotions
Tools for managing stress, friendships, and school demands
A grounded place to explore identity, values, and belonging
This is a space where they don’t have to perform, pretend, or be “the good kid.”
They just get to be themselves — even if they don’t fully know who that is yet.

Because kids and teens deserve a space to understand themselves—
where they can make sense of their feelings, their experiences, and who they are becoming without pressure to have it all figured out, and without being rushed along the way.
