Teens that have experienced trauma (abuse, neglect, exposure to violence, or life threatening events) can benefit from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. (TF-CBT) consists of several core treatment components that are designed to provide a flexible and developmentally appropriate method to address the unique needs of each teens.

Teen Therapy: provides a non-judgmental, comfortable, and confidential space for teens, and their parents/caregivers. When working with teens I utilize cognitive-behavioral strategies. I maintain confidentiality with the adolescent client, while encouraging the teen to be open and clear in their communication with their parent/caregiver. I have found that this helps to build the most positive, long lasting relationship with teens clients and their parents. This also helps parents learn how manage behaviors and use productive communication.
