You’re worried about your teen, but you’re unsure how to help them. Trying to determine how to support your child when they’re struggling may leave you feeling lost and overwhelmed.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Teen counseling supports your teen as they navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. I provide adolescent therapy at my New York City office and virtually across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Texas & Louisiana.
Adolescence is filled with new situations, challenges, and relationships for teens to deal with. Your teen might be grappling with their identity, peer pressure, friendships, academic stress or their own emotions. Whatever they’re going through, therapy offers them a supportive environment where they can express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. They can strengthen their coping and communication skills and learn how to manage stress, anxiety and other mental health concerns.
I’ll empower them to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, enhance relationships and build the emotional tools necessary for a healthier and more fulfilling future.
Will Therapy Help My Teen?
- Increased anxiety, irritability or withdrawal
- Changes in mood, sleep or appetite
- Academic stress, burnout or school avoidance
- Low self-esteem or harsh self-criticism
- Difficulty communicating or frequent conflict at home
- Big transitions (move, divorce, loss, identity exploration)
Therapy isn’t only for crisis moments. Many families seek support when something feels off or they want to help their teen build skills early.

Empathetic Guidance: My work is grounded in years of experience supporting adolescents. I provide compassionate therapy to help your child face those obstacles, grow their self-awareness and heal.
Tailored for Teens: Trust and connection are crucial parts of teen counseling. That’s why I personalize treatment to resonate with teens and meet their needs. Here, your teen will have a safe and comfortable space to open up in and a therapist with expertise in adolescent mental health.
Collaborative Approach: I’ll work together with your teen, yourself and, if appropriate, others involved in their life (teachers, pediatricians, etc.), to foster the best holistic care for them. I work seamlessly with other care providers so that your teen receives the comprehensive care they need to be successful.
