The teenage years can be some of the most exciting and challenging times in life. From managing school and friendships to coping with stress, anxiety, and emotional changes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Whether your teen is facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, or behavioral challenges, I’m here to help them navigate these experiences and build the tools they need to thrive.
How We Can Help
As a therapist with extensive experience working with teens, Courtney provides a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where teens can feel safe to open up, explore their emotions, and grow. Courtney's teen-focused services include:
-
Trauma and Grief Support
Teens dealing with the impact of traumatic experiences or loss often feel isolated. Courtney helps teens to process their emotions, build resilience, and find healing. -
Managing Anxiety and Depression
For teens struggling with feelings of overwhelm, sadness, or worry, Courtney provides practical tools and techniques to help teens regain balance and confidence. -
Behavioral Interventions
When teens face challenges with impulsivity, anger, or other behaviors, Courtney works with teens and parents to develop healthier habits and decision-making skills. -
Substance Abuse Support
If your teen is experimenting with or struggling with substance use, Courtney offers compassionate guidance to address the underlying causes and encourage positive change. -
Building Self-Confidence and Emotional Skills
Adolescence can be a time of self-doubt. Courtney helps teens develop a stronger sense of self-worth, better communication skills, and tools to navigate relationships and challenges effectively.
Approach to Teen Therapy
Working with teens requires a specialized approach that combines evidence-based techniques with empathy and understanding. Techniques utilized include:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping teens identify and replace negative thought patterns with positive, empowering beliefs.
-
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Guiding teens through trauma recovery by addressing emotional pain and fostering healing.
-
Trauma and Grief Component Therapy: Supporting teens as they process loss and build strategies to cope with the challenges life throws their way.
Through these approaches, teens are helped to feel heard, supported, and equipped to overcome obstacles while building the confidence they need to succeed.
