Therapy for Young Adults
“Getting grounded” takes on a new meaning.
Coming of age Your body and brain are changing - injecting new emotions and fears that make it hard to “be yourself.”
If that’s even who you want to be anymore.
Your parents always say you can come to them with anything, but you know they can’t relate to the pressure you feel from teachers at school, vibing with your friend group, and your growing responsibilities at home.
Venting to them turns into a “back in my day” competition you didn’t ask for.
What you really need is a trusted adult who listens without criticism.
Whether you’re being bullied, ostracized, or feeling curious about your sexuality, speaking with a professional can provide clarity and create a plan you feel comfortable with.
You deserve knowledgeable guidance

Yes. The youngest patient I see is 16 years old.
I’ve found this age to be particularly significant for teens who are close to adulthood.
I know that making decisions about college and the future can be overwhelming and intimidating when you are still figuring out who you are. I help you navigate the territory of balancing your newly found freedom with your growing responsibilities.

Teens are able to consent to outpatient therapy without parental approval, however, parental assistance may be beneficial during the initial intake process.
While some young adults find parental support beneficial, others may have an easier time opening up without an audience. I respect my patients preferences.

I take patient confidentiality very seriously. It’s the bedrock to building the trust needed for successful outcomes.
Your medical records - including therapy for mental health - qualify under HIPAA guidelines. This means outside of certain exceptions, I cannot release your records or discuss your sessions with anyone besides you without your written consent.
Licensed therapists are mandated reporters, therefore, I am legally required to break HIPAA confidentiality if you communicate a serious threat to yourself or others, disclose abuse, and when petitioned by the court.
