Teens and adolescents are not young versions of adults. They have specific problems to their developmental stages. Connecting and engaging with them are essential.  

As soon as I started working with this age group, I could feel the energy and the good connection, so I continued specializing in order to offer the best possible treatment for them. Apart from the clinical work, I have worked in schools and have volunteered in many programs with adolescents, which has given me the opportunity to see them in a variety of contexts. As of today, I have more than 18 years of experience and I continue enjoying my work with them and their families. 

During adolescence, the mind, character, and personality of the individual are still developing. As such, we can consider the work done during these ages as early interventions. While every teen and family is different, results can be observed in a relatively short time in most cases.  

Teens and adolescent struggle regulating their emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are relatively short term and have been found to be effective forms of treatment for children, adolescents, and adults through decades of clinical trials. I specialize in CBT and DBT and have been using them for many years with good results. 

Parenting counseling is offered as part of teen and adolescent treatment in order to help the families support their children and better understanding their needs.
