Adolescent Counseling (Ages 10-18)

​

For kids and teens: The teenage years are difficult. You no longer want or need the constant care of adults. You're trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in the world. It's okay to need to support to figure that out. 

​

At Annie's Counseling, we want you to know that your privacy is protected, even from your parents/guardians. Your therapist will explain the limitations of privacy with your therapy so you'll know that you can trust us with your secrets.

For parents/guardians: We understand kids. We know the difference between normal parent/teen conflict and a kid that needs additional support navigating adolescence.

When kids enter treatment, often they share things with us that need to stay private to create an emotionally safe environment. We will reach out in cases where the child's safety is at risk. Your teen's therapist will explain the privacy rules prior to the first appointment.

Areas of expertise for our therapists include:

​

• Anxiety

• Body image disorders

• Depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders

• Low self esteem

• Personality disorders

• Substance use

​

Family and Couples Counseling

​

For couples: Sometimes couples stop working. You remember when your relationship felt easy, but now everything is just so hard. Now you're not even sure if you recognize the person you wake up next to in the morning. Relationships are tested through a variety of pressures: feeling overburdened by work and home responsibilities, infidelity, shared loss, conflicts over different values, or poor communication. Any of those can erode the foundation of a relationship. 

​

It's not too late. Through couples counseling you can improve and strengthen your relationship by addressing problems in communication and learning how to rebuild your love and connection.

​

For families: A family can be the family you are born into, marry into, or create. It can include parents, brothers, sisters, children, friends, and lovers. Whatever your family is, maybe you find yourselves no longer functioning as a unit. It happens and it will be okay. Just sitting down with a therapist indicates love and concern for the family and hope that the family can heal. We will help you improve communication and help you figure out what's working for your family and what's not.
