Anxiety or compulsive behaviors are challenging for teens.
Maybe you’ve tried to stop or manage things on your own or even received advice from others, but it keeps returning. It’s frustrating and stressful, and sometimes it feels like no one really understands what you’re going through.
Trying harder or “calming down” is not enough to help you break free from anxiety, OCD, or compulsive behaviors.
Even therapy might not help unless it’s the right kind of therapy, such as one that’s designed specifically for what you’re dealing with and tailored to you.
There’s a reason why the previous therapy failed.
If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel like it made a difference, you’re not alone. The truth is that some forms of treatment fail to work well.
General advice or basic counseling often doesn’t go deep enough to address the real reasons why anxiety, OCD, or compulsions take hold.
To make real progress, you need specialized methods that work for these issues – and that’s precisely what I’m trained to provide.
Teens – I can help.
I specialize in working with teens like you who struggle with anxiety, OCD, or habits that feel impossible to control.
With my personalized plan, we will employ research-backed techniques like:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
- Inference-Based CBT for OCD (I-CBT)
- Comprehensive Behavior Model for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (ComB)
These methods are more than just managing your feelings in the moment; they help change how your brain reacts to anxiety and obsessive thoughts so you can break the cycle for good.
As a teen, you need to gain control.
In our therapy sessions, you’ll get support in a space where you can be yourself without judgment. We’ll work together to figure out what’s causing your anxiety or compulsions.
Then, we will create strategies to help you manage and reduce the symptoms.
Our goal is for you to build up your confidence and resilience so you can handle the challenges you face as a teen and not just get through them but thrive.
It’s time to gain control!
Teens face many stressors, such as challenging coursework, making friends, preparing for the next step, striving for independence, etc. The last thing they need is to deal with challenges associated with anxiety and compulsive behaviors.
It might feel like you’ve been dealing with these struggles for too long, but real change is possible. You’re not stuck.
By reaching out for help, you’re already on the way to taking back control of your life from anxiety and compulsions.
