Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Adolescence is a real developmental upheaval, not just a phase to get through. Identity is under construction, friendships carry enormous weight, the relationship with parents is being renegotiated whether anyone agreed to it or not, and all of it is happening in a body and brain that are still changing. Most teens handle a lot of this on their own. Sometimes they need more support than the people around them can give.
I work with teens on the ordinary-but-hard parts of this stage: friendship conflict and social pressure, questions about who they are and where they belong, school stress and perfectionism, self-esteem, screens and comparison, conflict at home, first relationships, and the general sense of being off without knowing why.
A lot of what makes this work is having one adult who isn't grading them, parenting them, or trying to fix them. Therapy gives your teen a space that's theirs, where they can think out loud and be met with curiosity instead of correction. That often changes things at home too, not because we're working on you, but because a teen who feels less alone tends to have more room for everyone around them.
