Counseling for Tweens

Preteens need to express themselves in their therapy.

Freedom · Expression · Support ·

Preteens need their maturing interests to be respected while their tender feelings are supported.

They want to do more on their own and do it well. They want to fit in and stand out. Their emotions become stronger and harder to predict.  Life may feel like it’s on shaky ground. This is a great time for your child to build skills for managing a constantly changing world. 

Let's Talk. I'm here to help.

When your preteen is overwhelmed with stress, creative therapy makes things fun again.  

We use paints, pens, sharpies, images, collage, music, writing, mapping, and any other outlets they are drawn to. There really aren’t any rules; what interests your child is perfect for the process.

I provide freedom to explore and help with figuring things out. I help your preteen find themselves and share that with you. 

I become a bridge between you and your child so you can grow together. All of these changes relieve the pressure so your preteen can once again enjoy life, on their terms.

I’d love to talk to you about how I can help your child.
