Laura Goldstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
A teen's main development task is to figure out who they are in this world. And as our world keeps getting more complicated, this task gets more difficult. During adolescence, teens are sorting through all sorts of internal struggles. They may be dealing with conflicting feelings, conflicting pressures between friends and family, conflicting desires, values and goals, and more. Ultimately, this often leaves them feeling alone and confused. And, because parents can be source of this pressure, they are not the best at helping their teen work through this confusion. This is exactly why teens need a therapist that is a dedicated and neutral person that can help them sort through their feelings and goals.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.
