Teen Counseling

This is a safe place for teens and their parents. Although shannanagins are discussed and confronted, teen confidentiality is respected, and there is not a judge in this office.

She specializes in working with teenage girls and young women experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, social problems, bullying issues, boyfriend related issues, school problems, behavior problems at home, trauma and anger issues.
