THERAPY PRACTICE
JOURNEY TO EMOTIONAL HEALING
As adolescents develop, they are in a heavy brain development process that impacts their social skills and emotional intelligence to lead healthy, happy lives with appropriate decision-making skills. When adolescents experience emotions or engage in behaviors that interfere with their happiness and ability to thrive, they may benefit from meeting with a therapist to regulate their emotions. After all, that part of their brain is not fully developed yet.
​
Teen Talk helps teenagers navigate their feelings on their journey of emotional awareness and responsibility. As a systems-based practice, our treatment is inclusive of all systems teenagers are apart of.

I want to know everything my teen tells you. Are you going to tell me?I know you're going to want to know what is going through their mind when they make certain choices. However, confidentiality is very important to the therapeutic process. I am a mandated reporter and in some certain instances, I will have to break confidentality. Those instances are allegations of abuse, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation and abuse of elderly persons. I would encourage a family session if your heart is burning to know the answer to a particular question.
