Navigate School Pressure, Social Stress, and Big Emotions
Teen Therapy (16+)
Navigate school pressure, social stress, and big emotions with more confidence and less overwhelm.
- Feeling overwhelmed by school pressure, grades, and the college application process.
- Struggling with social dynamics, friendships, and feelings of not fitting in.
- Experiencing intense emotions that feel too big to manage.
- Anxiety or depression that is affecting school, relationships, and daily life.
- Questions about identity, purpose, and who you are becoming.
Common clinical concerns in adolescence:
Adolescent Anxiety & Depression
Often manifesting as school refusal, irritability, sleep disturbance, or social withdrawal.
Academic Stress
The intense pressure around grades, performance, and college that impacts mental health.
Social & Peer Dynamics
Navigating complex social hierarchies, friend group changes, and belonging.
Identity Formation
The central task of adolescence: exploring and committing to a personal identity.
I create a judgment-free zone for teens to be heard:
Emotional Regulation Skills
Using DBT techniques to understand and manage big, intense emotions.
Anxiety & Stress Management
Building practical tools to manage academic pressure and social anxiety.
Building Self-Esteem
Challenging negative self-talk and building a foundation of self-worth not tied to grades or popularity.
Social Skills & Boundaries
Navigating friendships, peer pressure, and building authentic connections.
Family Communication
With your teen's permission, improving communication between parent and child.
A little something to help now: the TIPP skill for big emotions.
