Are You Or Someone You Care About…

  • Having a life crisis?
  • Experiencing a life transition (family divorce, new school, new blended family)?
  • Getting involved with unhealthy relationships or making unhealthy life choices?
  • Having a problem with managing moods and behaviors?
  • Having thoughts or actions of self-harm?
  • Considering or attempted suicide?

Being a teenager is not easy.  You are not alone…we are here to provide a safe place where you feel heard.

We just have a couple of ground rules:

  • If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian will need to sign permission for you to see the therapist (it’s the law).
  • You, your parent or guardian, and your therapist will discuss what kind of things will be held in the strictest of confidence–and what kinds of things will have to be discussed with your parents.

Our therapists are here to help you sort things out, work with you to create a treatment plan and challenge you to work towards short and long-term goals in the following areas:
