“...let's take the first step together and see what this journey might bring.”
I always say that counseling is a balancing act between encouraging change and accepting who you are in the moment. The key to both approaches is increased self-awareness, unconditional positive regard, and a healthy therapeutic alliance that allows the client to pursue changes while having a stable base. Counseling is a process that I hope will guide you to the change that you want to see in yourself, and seeking treatment is just the beginning. As Lao Tzu says, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." So let's take the first step together and see what this journey might bring.
Individual Counseling
Adolescents
I remember all too well the difficulties of being a teenager. I believe it is these memories that have made me so adept at connecting with teenagers in their struggles to find themselves and who they want to be. During our sessions together, we will discuss the problems of teenage life, such as lack of autonomy, the uncertainty of self, peer pressure, and puberty. It is easy to feel alone during this phase of life, and my goal in your teen therapy is to be a supportive, non-judgemental adult outside your circle of family or friends that you can turn to for help and reassurance.
