Working with Your Teen
Teenage years can be a tumultuous time for many. Our goal is to support your family by offering tools and coping strategies to help open the doors of communication and improve daily life. The teenage brain goes through some natural stages during maturation, and it can be difficult for a parent to discern normal adolescent behavior and neurodiversity from clinical diagnoses. Hormonal and physical changes can have an impact on mental health, as well as on overall happiness and calm. We will help you assess the need for habit and dietary changes, as well as the potential benefit of medical and psychological treatment strategies. Professional care can dramatically improve a teen’s life, helping them as they navigate the path to adulthood. Our methodology involves working with the patient in an integrated and personalized way so that we can design a support plan that incorporates not just teen therapy and medication, but also a roadmap for healthy habits for overall well-being.

- Anxiety Disorders

We will help you to integrate habits, behaviors, strengths, knowledge, acceptance, compassion, and science to create a personalized path towards well-being.
