Teen Group Therapy in Orange County
These past few years have shown us all, the importance of community and connection. Teens are continuing to report how lonely and disconnected they feel.
In group therapy, teens have a space to discover their worth, build trust with others and find appropriate ways to get their needs met. It’s important they begin to develop an understanding of where people in their life are coming from, combat perfectionism, identify responsible decision making, and discover healthy avenues towards adventure and joy.
I have seen how this is the most effective form of treatment for adolescents. I have had multiple consistent groups running for over 2 years. The teens love their “therapy friends” and considered it a “little family.”
Enriching a teens interpersonal world, is not something that can be accomplished in individual therapy, and it is a critical component to a teens mental health. Group can be just as helpful, if not more helpful, than individual therapy.
Beyond your teen thriving professionally after high school, we want to prepare them for effective relational skills at this phase in their development.

Individual Therapy in Orange County
For teens looking to understand themselves better.
My vision has been to create community connection for teens. However some teens need intensive 1:1 work prior. Please inquire further, if individual therapy is a modality that you prefer.

Individual Therapy sessions
Sessions can be held on a weekly or every other week basis, depending on the need. Most teens do a combination of individual and group therapy. I see this as the most effective combination towards change.
As there is progress towards goals, many teens choose to drop down just to group.
