The high school years are complicated. Teens are complicated. I believe this unique developmental stage is deserving of specialized care. My approach to supporting teens is to recognize the complexity of their lives and address their needs with an integrative approach.
Teenage mental health doesn't have to be about disorders, labels and treatments. I believe teenage mental health is about seeing this complex developmental and transitional stage of life as an extraordinary opportunity for growth. Because teenage brains are undergoing a massive reorganization and developmental growth spurt, it is the perfect time to focus on their social, emotional and mental health.
My job is to help your teen make the most of this developmental period so that they can train their brain to find joy and embark on adulthood with the tools, skills and mindsets they need for a lifetime of positive mental health.
Hi, I'm Lynsey
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and former High School Counselor that has worked with thousands of teenagers, my passion is helping teens find their way. The teenage years are a struggle and our teens right now are facing challenges and pressures that we never had to know.
Maybe your teen is struggling with mental health concerns?
Maybe they seem completely lost or not like themselves anymore?
Maybe you just have a sense that something is missing or not right?
Maybe you're trying to find that spark that ignites their passion and motivation?
No matter the starting point, I will meet them where they are and help them find their way. Teenage mental health is different than adults and children which is why we have to address their needs differently. Teens have incredible cognitive ability, extreme social sensitivity, heightened emotional reactivity and are asked to withstand enormous societal pressures without having a fully-functional and developed brain. It's no wonder that it gets messy quickly! Teens are tricky and nothing feels worse as a parent than not knowing how to help your child. I'm here to help. Through connection, skill-building and evidence-based counseling approaches, I will help your teen develop the self-efficacy they need to thrive. It's time to get your kid back. It's time to help them find their way.
When things change inside you, things change around you.
