Pre-teens and teens, ages 10 and up · Telehealth
Therapy that helps your pre-teen or teen feel understood.
Dr. Tania works with pre-teens and teens on anxiety, big emotions, attention, school stress and friendships, and brings parents into the process.
Does this sound familiar?
- Worries, fears or panic that get in the way of school, sleep or friends
- Low mood, irritability or big emotions that are hard to settle
- Trouble focusing, staying organized or following through
- Bullying, peer conflict, feeling left out, or struggles with identity and self-esteem
- Changes in sleep or eating, or worries about body image
- Too much time on phones, games or social media
- A loss, a move, a divorce or another big change at home
- A child who seems less like themselves, as the pre-teen or teen years begin
