Child & Teen Therapy
Watching your child suffer is its own kind of crisis.
Adolescence concentrates emotional intensity into a period when the brain's regulatory systems are still developing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A) was designed for this specific mismatch: teens who feel emotions at high volume and lack the skills to manage them, and parents who want to help but don't know how. This practice offers DBT-A at multiple levels of support, from a free parent skills course through comprehensive family-based treatment.
