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

Who it’s for
Amy works with teens navigating:
Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm
Friendship drama, social pressure, and confidence struggles
School stress, perfectionism, or burnout
Life transitions, family changes, or grief
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of themselves
Many teens don’t come to therapy excited. That’s okay. Amy creates a space where teens feel respected, understood, and safe to be real, without being talked down to.
Inside the session
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each teen.
This isn’t just talking in circles. Teens learn how to:
Identify unhelpful patterns
Practice emotional regulation in real time
Build confidence through action
Learn communication and boundary skills
Create simple strategies teens actually use
Parents stay involved through check-ins and consults as needed, while teens are given space to build independence and ownership of their growth.
Our approach
Amy blends her proprietary style, IAT, with evidence-based modalities:
CBT adapted for teens
Emotional awareness and regulation skills
Pattern recognition and intentional action
Practical coping strategies
Collaboration with families and schools when helpful
What makes this work different is the focus on change, not just insight.
Teens don’t just talk about what’s hard. They practice new ways of responding, thinking, and showing up.
Common goals
Families often come in hoping to:
Reduce anxiety, shutdowns, and overwhelm
Build confidence and self-trust
Improve communication at home
Strengthen friendships and social skills
Help teens feel more in control of their emotions
Support teens in navigating school and life with clarity
Our goal is growth, not endless therapy.
We help teens build skills they carry forward, so they leave feeling stronger, more capable, and ready for what’s next.
