Adolescent years can be thrilling and tough.  Brain development and support play a key role.  Therapy for your teen will consist of following their lead.  Whether your teen loves art, fidgets, games, sand tray, music, or just sitting and talking, RISE Counseling & Play Therapy offers a safe place for them.  Adolescent years are a time of learning about themselves and developing their identity.  With the growing pressure and social media, adolescent years just got harder.  In counseling, we will develop skills to handle life, emotions, relationships, and build a firm foundation values.

When your teen is receiving counseling services, we are a team.  As a part of the team, we will meet for parent support sessions.  During parent support sessions, I will provide parenting skills based on your teen’s needs and update you on the progress of their sessions.  Teens do have autonomy with their counseling, and we discuss what you need to know as their parent.  At intake, we will discuss risky behavior and confidentiality.  The goal is to bridge you and your teen with healthy support and communication.
