Therapy for children and teens
Children and teenagers carry difficult emotions too, even when they don't know how to express them. I work with children from age 6 and teenagers with warmth and patience.
Signs you might benefit from support
- Changes in behavior, anger or defiance
- Sadness, fear or withdrawal
- Attention or school difficulties
- Losses, big changes or difficult experiences
my approach
How I can help
I adapt therapy to each child or teen. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help them recognize and manage emotions, trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) when there have been difficult experiences, and a solution-focused approach with clear goals. Parents are an important part of the process.
What to expect
In the first sessions I get to know your child and talk with you about your concerns. We set goals together, and I keep you informed while respecting your child's trust.
Frequently asked questions
What ages do you work with?
I work with children from age 6, teenagers ages 13 to 17, adults and older adults.
Do parents take part in sessions?
Yes, in a way that fits the child's age. With younger children parents are more involved; with teens we protect a space of their own and share with parents what they need to support them.
Can my child do therapy online?
Many teenagers feel comfortable online. For younger children in-person sessions often work better; we can talk about it in the first session.
