Teen Counseling for Anxiety in Colchester, CT and Virginia
Online Teen Counseling for Anxious, Hyperindependent Misfits in Colchester, CT & VA
It Wasn’t Supposed to Go This Way
It was supposed to be perfect, you always made sure, as the parent, you had everything taken care of. Their life was definitely going to be easier. You noticed your teen was thoughtful, sensitive, the “old soul.” It seemed like, in the past, your teen had been able to handle what came their way.
But now—
Your teen is shutting down.
Your teen is anxious and you are worried about how to support them.
Your teen is a perfectionist and overworks themselves into so much stress that it feels unsustainable.
Maybe you and your spouse/partner got divorced or separated, lost a family member, had a big life change, faced the unimaginable, and you are watching your teen try to navigate school, friends, activities and all this other stuff and you feel at a loss watching them juggle it all.
You want life to be easier for them. You wish you could just swoop them up, fix it, and make it all better.
You are stumped. You feel helpless. Wherever you turn, everyone has a different opinion and judgment for you about how to handle your teen.
The worst part is the shame and guilt that sneaks into your mind. You always intended to do better than your parents, and now your very worst fear keeps creeping up into your mind—are you just repeating the same old pattern with your teen?

How Does Online Teen Counseling in Connecticut and Virginia Work?
First we will chat for a brief 15-minute consultation call to hear what is going on with your teen and schedule a parent intake session.
Next, we will meet for that parent intake session. I want to hear about what you have witnessed going on with your teen and within your family.
During our parent intake, we are going to break down together what you are observing and how we can tackle it as a team.
We will discuss my therapeutic style, establish how you and I can hold each other accountable in the treatment process, and create treatment goals together.
I work with parents/caregivers throughout the treatment process, utilizing a team-based approach to support you and your teen.
