We love working with teens, and we have found that the best treatment for teens requires the following:
- An ounce of willingness from the teen to give therapy a shot. What this means is that if your teen isn't ready for therapy, we will not be doing therapy.

- Family involvement (as needed).
The age group we prefer is 13-18, though we are willing to work with those younger than 13 in special circumstances. Let's chat and see if your teen is a good fit for therapy with us!
