Teen Stress

How we can help

I am well-equipped to address the unique challenges that teenagers face, especially in the realm of stress. I recognizes that adolescence is a crucial period marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. By providing a safe and confidential space, I encourages teens to express their thoughts and emotions freely. This open dialogue allows me to understand the sources of stress that may be impacting the teenager's life, whether it be academic pressures, peer relationships, family dynamics, or self-esteem issues.

I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to the developmental stage and individual needs of the teenager. Cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness exercises, and stress management techniques are just a few examples of the tools I may utilize. Through these approaches, I help teens develop coping mechanisms and resilience to navigate stressors effectively. Additionally, Nave collaborates with teenagers to explore and enhance their problem-solving skills, communication abilities, and emotional regulation, fostering a sense of empowerment and control over their lives.

Furthermore, I recognizes the interconnectedness of mental health and overall well-being for teenagers. By addressing stress in therapy, I not only supports teens in managing immediate challenges but also assists them in building a foundation for long-term emotional and mental resilience. Through the therapeutic relationship, I guide teens in developing self-awareness, building healthy coping mechanisms, and acquiring valuable skills that can contribute to their overall growth and well-being during this crucial phase of life.

Trauma Psychotherapy

Trauma faced during your childhood can have long lasting impacts. Whether you experienced psychological abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, neglect, sexual assault (historical and present), domestic violence, witnessed a catastrophic event (i.e. a violent accident). The individual often manifests symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or in some circumstances where trauma is long standing and chronic, Complex-PTSD. Survivors of trauma need a safe holding environment whereby they can feel psychologically safe to explore their trauma and release it. As a trauma-informed-therapist my goal is to utilize interventions which address how trauma is “held” in the body using Trauma-Informed-Psychotherapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Inner family systems therapy, and elements of Somatic Experiencing.
