Trauma Therapy for Teens in Minnesota

Navigating your teen’s emotional world can feel like riding a rollercoaster: Full of unexpected twists, loops, and upside-down moments that leave you searching for the right support.

Welcome to the whirlwind of teenage years!

Academic pressures, the maze of identity development, peer pressure, the wild ride of puberty, bullying, the ups and downs of relationships…

Throw in the twists of social media, the pursuit of positive self-image, life transitions, gender identity, family drama, and the echos of childhood bumps and bruises - it's no surprise teens feel overwhelmed, moody, depressed, anxious, or perfectionistic.

For me, building genuine connections with teens is not just a job—it's my jam! My approach is customized to meet your teen’s individual needs, using methods and language that resonate with them. Celebrating a spectrum of identities and social backgrounds, I foster a nurturing environment where teens can thrive and grow.

The power of therapy for teens:

  1. Unleash their strengths and ignite confidence: equipping them with the courage to conquer challenges head-on.

  2. Ride the emotional rollercoaster with grace: identify emotions, discover what’s hiding beneath the surface, and master strategies to ride out the highs and lows with resilience.

  3. Elevate relationships with parents, peers, and siblings: learn the magic of open communication, navigate conflicts with confidence, build bridges with heartfelt talks, and turn awkward moments into laughter-filled memories.

  4. Build a future-ready self: by facing the tough stuff head-on now, teens can gain the resilience and confidence to handle whatever the adult world throws their way, turning obstacles into opportunities.
