About
Twenty-first Century Teens and Young Adults
This generation of teens and young adults are sophisticated, technologically advanced, and faced with 21st century challenges. Many teens and young adults thrive in our rapidly changing world, but some struggle with:
anxious thinking or worry
depressed mood or prolonged sadness
problems associated with ADHD
being bullied or not feeling connected to school
pressure to succeed in school
unrealistic media influence
families that are in transition due to divorce or separation
creating a meaningful academic or professional future
As a parent it is hard to watch a problem prevent your child from reaching his or her true potential. The first step in seeking professional help is often the most difficult, but can open doors for new solutions to emerge.
Solution-Focused Therapy
My goal as a solution-foucsed therapist is to assist teens and young adults to develop a plan of action to resolve the current problem. This means that I structure my therapy sessions to be oriented toward solving problems in the present. Therapy can provide a new perspective that helps teens and young adults learn new ways of thinking, behaving, or interacting with others. As clients meet small goals, they become more hopeful that whatever problem they are facing can be resolved - this is an opportunity for building resiliency and strength.
I welcome the opportunity to help teens and young adults -
collaborate on a plan of action
gain insight about themselves and the world around them
cultivate healthy means of communication
understand the consequences of his or her choices
