Older Teens (15+) & Young Adults
The transition into adulthood can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and harder than it looks from the outside.
Academic pressure, ADHD, anxiety, social stress, family conflict, identity questions, relationship challenges, confidence struggles, and the growing pressure to “figure life out” can add up quickly.
For some, that pressure also shows up around performance, whether in school, athletics, leadership roles, or other environments where expectations feel high and self-worth can become tied to achievement.
Therapy should not feel like another place where you’re judged, misunderstood, or talked down to.
It should help life feel more manageable.
Our work together focuses on helping you:
Better manage anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, academic pressure, or performance-related stress
Improve motivation, focus, executive functioning, and follow-through
Feel less stuck, shut down, disconnected, or unsure where to start
Build confidence, emotional resilience, and a healthier relationship with achievement, pressure, or self-expectations
Improve communication, boundaries, and important relationships
Better navigate identity questions, major life transitions, and uncertainty about what comes next
Develop practical tools that make school, work, athletics, and everyday life feel more manageable
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, practical, and genuinely supportive. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, emotionally safe enough to be honest, and supported in creating meaningful movement, not endless analysis or another adult telling you what to do.
I work with older teens, college students, graduate students, and young adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, identity exploration, executive functioning challenges, depression, relationship stress, confidence issues, performance pressure, and major life transitions.
For parents: I’m happy to speak with you first to answer questions and discuss fit. Therapy works best when teens feel the space is genuinely theirs, so confidentiality is an important part of the process. When safety concerns arise, or when collaboration would meaningfully support treatment, I involve parents appropriately.
I offer private-pay therapyin Concord, MA, serving MetroWest clients in person and via telehealth across Massachusetts.
Individual therapy sessions are $200 for 55 minutes. Superbills are available for clients using out-of-network benefits.
