A Note From The Los Angeles Teen Therapist

In choosing a therapist for your teenager, you want to inquire about the experience that counselor has working with adolescent phase of life issues. Also, learn how they will keep you informed of your child’s progress, and whether they can offer recommendations for responding to your teen at home. – Sandra

What advice do you have for parents looking to hire a Teen Therapist?
Take into consideration the teen counselor’s background and training, as well as whether their area of expertise fits your needs. Try to find a therapist with whom you feel understood and comfortable.

As a potential client, what should parents know about your profession?
Although Marriage and Family Therapists “in training” are required to spend 500 hours working with children and families, not all therapists have experience working directly with the teen population.

What information should parents think through before seeking you out?
It is important to examine your readiness to embrace the changes that may be necessary for you, your teen and your family to make. Teen Therapy is a collaborative relationship, and you as the parent, will need to reinforce a Teen Therapist’s work in home.

How does your work stand out from other counselors who do what you do?
I specialize in working with diverse, multicultural clientele as well as sensitive and creative teenagers. I also help parents get the whole picture of what’s going on in their child’s mind, including the neurological changes that occur during adolescence.

Do you think your teen would benefit from working with a therapist who would encourage them to grow into the person they have the potential to be? I invite you take that critical next step, and allow me to demonstrate the support I can offer to you and your family.
