4 Key Ingredients To How I Do Therapy

Creating a Trusting Environment

First and foremost, I establish a safe and open space for communication, ensuring that teens and their parents feel heard and valued.

Customized Therapeutic Methods

Recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, I tailor our sessions to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Parental Guidance and Support

Understanding the intricate dynamics of raising a teen, I also engage with parents, offering guidance and strategies to navigate the complexities of this crucial developmental stage.

Lastly, my focus is on empowering both teens and their parents with essential skills, fostering lasting change and resilience in facing life's challenges.

Hi, I’m Ressa,

I specialize in guiding teens struggling with anxiety & depression towards a journey of self-acceptance and purpose, helping them lead fulfilling lives and find joy again. Over the last 10 years in clinical practice, and in more than 20 years of journeying alongside kids and teens, I’ve grown to deeply understand both the joys and the challenges this age group and their families face.

Many of the teens struggling with anxiety & depression who I work with face difficult problems at home and at school. Issues like getting into arguments, dealing with social anxiety, loneliness, a general lack of motivation, or feeling misunderstood. Internally, this often leaves them grappling with self-doubt, overwhelming guilt or racing thoughts, and frustration — emotions that, if left unaddressed, could have long-term consequences on their development and adult life.

Depression and anxiety can lead to a multitude of challenges as a teenager and it can feel like there is no way out. BUT there is hope, and I am able to help teenagers overcome the overwhelming feelings and begin to feel like themselves again. Schedule your consultation today.
