Teens

Being a teen comes with constant pressure. School. Friendships. Expectations. Social media. It’s a lot to carry.

Many teens don’t exactly love the idea of therapy, and that makes sense. Amy’s approach is different. Teens feel understood from the very first session.

Teens come here for clarity, confidence, and tools that actually work in real life. Amy helps them break unhelpful patterns and build emotional strength and confidence

  • Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm

  • Friendship drama, social pressure, and confidence struggles

  • School stress, perfectionism, or burnout

  • Life transitions, family changes, or grief

Inside the session

Teens learn how to:

  • Practice emotional regulation in real time
