Adolescent Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
.
Adolescents & teens are all about independence, mastery of achievements, and becoming their own person. This developmental stage is often challenging but not usually insurmountable. Patience is the key for parents of a teenager. Therapy can be wonderfully beneficial during this time of change in life from being dependent upon parents to a time of depending upon oneself. Everything from driving oneself to their therapy to figuring out life’s plans, can be aided by talking to a therapist.
Psychoanalytic thinking is of great help when working with teens and helping parents as their teenager is in therapy. Teenagers have to be assured that their participation includes confidentiality.
APPOINTMENTS:
All sessions are 45-minutes in duration. Because the appointment is reserved for you (or your child), and this commitment on both of our parts is a most important aspect of what makes therapy successful, it is policy to charge for appointments not canceled with 72-hour notice (3 days) in advance. Fees would only be waived, if a cancellation is occasioned by circumstances, which we would both define as an emergency, and then discussed and mutually agreed upon.
