How Teen Therapy Can Help
Teen-centered therapy recognizes that adolescents are not just “small adults” or “older children.” Teens process the world differently, need guidance in emotional regulation, and often respond better to approaches that are supportive, relational, and engaging.
A safe place to talk openly
Coping skills for managing emotions
Build confidence and self-esteem
Support for both teens and parents
Who We Work With
Her Path Counseling offer support for teen girls experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity questions, family stress, social stress, and the emotional ups and downs of the teen years. For some, these challenges are connected to difficult past experiences. For others, it’s a quieter sense that something just doesn’t feel right.
We help teens and their parents better understand what’s going on, ease that sense of overwhelm, and build stronger connection and support at home.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
EMDR for Teens
As part of a trauma‑informed approach, Her Path Counseling offers EMDR to helps teens process and “unstick” distressing memories or experiences that continue to impact their emotions, behavior, or self‑beliefs. Through gentle bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements, taps, or sounds), EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing painful events so they no longer trigger the same emotional charge.
This approach can be especially helpful for teens who have experienced trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming stress, offering a structured, respectful way to reduce emotional intensity without requiring the teen to talk through every detail. Many adolescents notice relief in how they feel and cope as memories become less distressing and new, healthier beliefs and regulation skills begin to form.

Parent Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my teen needs therapy?
Some signs include intense or frequent mood swings, withdrawal from family or friends, anxiety, difficulty managing stress, conflict at home or school, or challenges with self-esteem and identity. Therapy can provide a safe space to understand these behaviors and build coping skills.
Are parents involved throughout the process?
Absolutely! Parent involvement plays an important role in strengthening connection and supporting positive change. I help parents better understand their teen’s experiences while also honoring their teen’s privacy.
Throughout the process, I maintain open communication, offering updates and guidance on how to support your teen at home.
While I do not offer traditional family therapy, I’m always open to including parents in sessions when it would be helpful.
Do you offer trauma-focused therapy?
Yes. I offer EMDR as part of a thoughtful, trauma-informed approach and I am trained in Parts & Memory Therapy (Level 1). This work is integrated with care, intention, and respect for boundaries.
If you’re wondering whether EMDR therapy could be helpful for your teen, we can explore this together and determine the best approach for her needs.
Why Choose an "Out-of-Network" (Cash-Pay) provider?
Choosing to pay out-of-pocket for therapy offers several unique benefits for your teens care:
-
Enhanced Privacy: Your teens records remain completely confidential because a mental health diagnosis is not required to be shared with an insurance company.
-
Personalized Care: Our work is guided by her needs and goals, not by the restrictive timelines or guidelines set by an insurance provider.
-
Transparent Pricing: You’ll never have to worry about surprise bills, claim denials, or insurance limits on the number of sessions your teen can have.
How long does the process take?
Every "path" is different. Some teen girls find relief after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We will check in regularly to ensure the work remains helpful and relevant.
