Individual Therapy for Teens, Young Adults, and Parents
A different type of support when play therapy is not the right choice
Sometimes a teen needs a place to sort through anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, school stress, or the pressure of holding too much inside. Sometimes a young adult needs steadier support through a difficult season, a major transition, or relationship strain. Sometimes a parent needs room to think clearly, understand what is happening, and stop feeling like every day has turned into damage control.
​
For some people, that support looks less like play and more like conversation, insight, and practical help. It is a place to talk honestly, make sense of what is happening, and begin moving toward something that feels steadier.

Looking for Child Play Therapy?
A more familiar format, still deeply human
Not every issue can be met with the same approach. Some teens are ready for a therapy experience that feels more direct and conversational. Some young adults want a place that feels steady, practical, and real. Some parents need support of their own, with room to sort through what is happening at home and what to do next.
​
Jennifer’s approach is calm, personal, and flexible. She pays attention to more than symptoms alone. She looks at what is happening in the body, in relationships, and in daily life. When it helps, sessions can make room for creativity, movement, and experiential tools so the work feels more natural and less forced.
Who this page is for

For teens who are ready for a more direct therapy format and need support that feels steady, respectful, and real.
Young adults

Reasons people often reach out
-
Anxiety, overwhelm, and always feeling on edge
-
Perfectionism, self-criticism, and pressure that feels too heavy
-
ADHD-related stress, transitions, frustration, and regulation challenges
-
Trauma, distressing experiences, or feeling stuck after something upsetting
-
School stress, social stress, and difficult life transitions
-
Divorce adjustment, family change, or ongoing household tension
-
Parent-child conflict and the exhaustion of constant battles at home
-
Parent consultation and guidance for stronger responses outside the therapy room
Sometimes the goal is feeling less reactive. Sometimes it is making sense of a hard season. Sometimes it is learning how to respond differently so life at home does not keep spiraling in the same way.
​
When something distressing is still affecting daily life, EMDR may also be helpful. Learn more on the EMDR for Children page.
A calm, comfortable way to do therapy
Therapy should not force someone into a box. Jennifer takes the time to understand the person, the stress they are carrying, and the kind of support that is needed. That may include direct conversation, coping and regulation work, trauma-informed support, family-aware insight, and practical strategies that can be used outside the office.
​
Some families feel an immediate sense of relief knowing Jennifer is familiar with neurodivergent and homeschool realities from the inside, not just in theory. That kind of lived understanding can make it easier to feel seen, settle in, and get to the real work more quickly.
​
Because Jennifer’s work is rooted in children, teens, and families, even one-on-one support here stays mindful of the larger system around a person, not just the symptom that shows up in the room.
Parent involvement still matters
When the client is a teen, parent involvement still matters; this does not mean parents need to be part of every moment. Jennifer works to balance the teen’s need for a private, useful space with the parent’s need to stay appropriately informed and meaningfully involved.
​
In some cases, that may include parent consultations, treatment planning, or skill-building support. In other cases, the parent may be the one receiving direct support because the family needs a steadier adult response first.
​
The goal is simple: help the right person get the right support in a way that actually fits.
Making sure this is the right fit
This path is often a strong fit for teens, young adults, and parents looking for calm, clear support. It can be especially helpful when someone wants a more direct therapy format to address anxiety, ADHD-related stress, trauma, major transitions, or family strain.
​
To protect the therapeutic space, this practice is not designed for custody recommendations, testimony, or high-conflict court involvement. Jennifer may also not be the right fit for every concern. If a different type or level of care is needed, the goal is always to help point you in a better direction rather than forcing a poor fit.
