Teen therapy in Hermosa Beach for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem

My Approach

I create a warm, non-judgmental environment where teens feel heard and respected. My approach is tailored to each teen’s unique needs, blending techniques such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness. Whether a teen needs a space to vent, develop coping skills, or work toward personal growth, I meet them where they are to provide meaningful support.

Supporting parents in their Teen’s therapy journey

As a parent, it can be challenging to know how best to support your teen’s mental health. I work collaboratively with parents while also ensuring teens have a confidential space to explore their thoughts and emotions. I provide general guidance and insights to help parents foster open communication and support their teen’s well-being at home.

Therapy For teens

Common challenges Teens face

Adolescence is a time of significant change, growth, and self-discovery. Teens today face unique pressures, from academic stress and social dynamics to navigating identity, self-esteem, and mental health concerns. While some challenges are a normal part of growing up, others can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage alone.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a safe and supportive space for teens to express their thoughts, process emotions, and develop coping strategies. I help teens navigate a variety of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and stress

  • Perfectionism and self-esteem issues

  • Social anxiety and peer pressure

  • Depression and mood changes

  • Family and relationship conflicts

  • School stress, academic pressure, and performance anxiety

  • Identity and self-discovery

  • Life transitions and future planning

Through therapy, teens can develop healthier thought patterns, build confidence, enhance communication skills, and become well acquainted with their unique strengths to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
