Specializing in holistic treatment of Anxiety & Depression in tweens, teens and adults

 Mind Body Therapy Adolescents

Teens and tweens experience their emotions in their bodies as much as in their minds. Teens and Tweens are not naturally inclined to sit in a chair and open up about what is troubling them. Integrated Mind-Body therapy is an effective way to heal, learn coping skills, resolve any issues of anxiety, depression, stress, poor body image, low self esteem, attention deficits, concentration issues and many other concerns without having an adult stare at them and ask questions. Yoga (breathing exercises, meditation practices, some poses, mantra, and more) are taught and integrated right into the session to resolve emotional issues where they feel them in their bodies helping them understand the mind-body connection and giving them tools so they feel empowered to manage feelings and thoughts that cause distress. The sessions may consist of a custom yoga practice that allows the Tween/Teen to move, discuss, and resolve concerns and issues as they naturally unfold while practicing yoga postures. Because all emotions are stored in our bodies, this process is effective, beneficial and enjoyable and the the tween/ teens feels the changes immediately. However, the sessions are crafted specifically for each individual student- some benefit from more movement and some from less- sessions are custom so the tween/teens gets what he or she needs. Your tween/teen will gain skills and strategies to resolve and manage their concerns and difficulties. Age 10-17

Parent Consultation

Parent consultation is a non-judgmental, collaborative session with the goal of helping you the parent, feel more equipped to successfully navigate this time in your child’s life. Parent Consultation is designed to address your concerns about your tween or teens mood, behavior and mental health. We will discuss effective parenting strategies, healthy and productive communication patterns that will work best with your unique child.  I will help identify dynamics contributing to your tween and teens behavior and offer practical solutions to restore healthy communication, and create a more peaceful home. ***You can use this appointment wether I see your child or not. This is for you, the parent. I will equip you with strategies that will work for you and with your child so you feel more empowered to help them even if you don't totally understand what they are going thru.
