Teen Therapy - Guiding Teens to Living a Fulfilling Life

Adolescence is a time of change, shifts, challenges, emotional growth, development, learning about relationships, communication, and so much more!

With these years come significant transitions which can bring along teen anxiety, depression, anger issue, mood swings, self-esteem issues, academic struggles, peer pressure, stress, and many other mental health issues. 

With teen therapy, teenagers are provided a safe and confidential space where they can express their emotions, learn to problem solve, explore who they are, and gain valuable insights into how to live life fully and effectively cope with life’s challenging moments.

Family Therapy - Empowering Teens and Families to Navigate Life Together

​At LLCS, we recognize that a teenager's mental health and wellness is often deeply connected to their family dynamics. And oftentimes, it can feel like understanding how your teen thinks and feels is near impossible! This is why as your teen's therapist, I believe in the importance of integrating family therapy with the individual work with your teen. 

Family therapy allows for a holistic approach to mental health and can help with the communication within the family and the overall wellbeing of the family and the teen. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for families to work collaboratively towards greater understanding, connection, and healing. 
The Lifelong Living Approach

At LLCS, we look at the whole individual and explore techniques and solutions that work for that individual. Depending on the issues presented, the parents play a vital role in the teenager’s wellbeing while still allowing for a private, safe space for the teen to express themselves without fear of judgment. As the therapist, I use only evidence-based therapeutic approaches that include Mindfulness-based therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and evidence-based complementary therapies that fit the needs of the individual.
