Our services
Sessions are 50 minutes, and your teen and I set the pace together. No number of sessions is promised.
Teen therapy
One to one with your teen, 50 minutes. Your teen chooses what we talk about, and we build skills for the week ahead. This is not a place where your teen is told what is wrong with them, and what they say stays between us, with the limits explained at the start.
Weekly 50-minute sessions
Cognitive behavioral skills
Your teen sets the pace
Video option for teens in California
Parent meetings
Time for you alone, to say what worries you, to learn what can help at home and to hear how things are going. This is not a report of what your teen has said. It is a chance to be a steadier parent, with support.
A first meeting for parents alone
Brief check-ins every few weeks
Ideas to try at home

Family sessions
Sessions with your teen and the people at home, when talking together would help more than talking apart. We use them only when your teen is ready, and never to force a conversation.
