Adolescent therapy sessions are available for teens aged 13-17. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to address a wide range of mental health concerns to include but not limited to attention deficit disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, depression, and school stress. I offer both in-office and telehealth options to fit your lifestyle and comfort level. In office sessions offer interactive activities and art to assist in processing your teens struggles.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Individualized drug and alcohol treatment is available. A mix of treatment modalities is utilized to include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-step approach. You will work with your therapist to create an individualized treatment plan to help you obtain and maintain sobriety. Couples/family sessions may be part of the treatment process.
My Approach
I believe that relationships are of the utmost importance in therapy. We will build a good working relationship while outlining goals for treatment and getting to know each other. There will be an assessment phase, a treatment phase, and a maintenance phase for therapy. Sessions typically start out meeting weekly then decreasing in frequency as you progress through the phases of treatment.
At My Site, we believe in taking a collaborative approach to therapy, working with you to identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to provide you with the best possible care. We offer both in-office and telehealth options to fit your lifestyle and comfort level.
