Teen Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy for teenagers in Hollywood for anxiety, depression, and identity challenges.

Adolescence is a period of intense change. Therapy provides teenagers with a supportive and confidential space to explore identity, manage emotions, and navigate the pressures of becoming oneself.

Psychodynamic therapy helps teenagers make sense of their internal experiences while attending to their developmental needs. Collaboration with parents is carefully handled to support treatment goals.

I specialize in a variety of presenting concerns for teenagers including:

  • Anxiety and Panic

  • Depression and Mood Changes

  • Academic and Performance Pressure

  • Social and Peer Relationships

  • Identity Development and Self Esteem

  • Family Conflict

  • Social Withdrawal

  • Emotional Disturbance

  • Gender and Sexual Identity Support

I also work with potential personality disorders, prodromal psychosis, and neurodivergence. I have experience working with a diverse variety of social identities and enjoy supporting exploration associated with the relationship between self and culture.

Sometimes just “feeling weird” can be a perfect place to start a meaningful transformation in therapy.
