Teen Therapy in Hermosa Beach

Adolescence is a time of change, pressure, and self-discovery. Balancing school, friendships, family expectations, and the big questions of identity can sometimes feel overwhelming or lonely. Therapy gives teens a place that is just for them, where they can talk openly without judgment, work through emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope with stress.

When I work with teens, I bring curiosity, warmth, and honesty into the room. I do not expect them to have everything figured out, and I do not talk at them. Instead, I listen, ask thoughtful questions, and support them in making sense of what they are experiencing. The goal is to help teens feel more grounded in who they are, more confident in handling challenges, and more connected to the people who matter to them.
