Therapy for Teens & Young Women
Pasadena
Therapy for Teen Girls & Young Women (16+) in Pasadena and Los Angeles
Compassionate Support for Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Stress, Trauma, and More
The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be overwhelming. If you're 16 or older and feeling anxious, emotionally stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself—you’re not alone. This stage of life comes with big changes, high expectations, and internal pressure to figure things out.
I provide therapy for teen girls and young women (ages 16–25) in Pasadena and the Los Angeles area, offering a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges.
Common Reasons Young Women Begin Therapy
You may benefit from therapy if you’re dealing with:
-
Anxiety, overthinking, or social stress
-
Low self-esteem or self-doubt
-
Depression, numbness, or mood swings
-
Trauma or difficult past experiences
-
Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
-
Academic or career pressure
-
Family conflict or identity struggles
-
Relationship issues or friendship drama
Whether you're still in high school, heading to college, or navigating early adulthood, this is a space to process your emotions, heal from past pain, and build the tools you need to feel more like yourself again.
A Safe Space to Be You
Therapy is your time—free from judgment or pressure. I offer a warm, supportive, and confidential environment where you can show up as your full self. My approach is always client-centered, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs.
Therapy Approaches That Work for Young Women
I use a blend of evidence-based methods to help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your emotional world.
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
Helps you make sense of intense emotions, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen relationships with yourself and others.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Especially effective for managing emotional ups and downs, self-harm urges, or suicidal thoughts. Focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and boundary setting.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Challenges negative thought patterns and builds practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and low self-worth.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
Short-term and goal-oriented—great for boosting confidence, setting clear goals, and focusing on what’s working in your life.
Mindfulness-Based Practices
Breathwork, grounding, and present-moment awareness to reduce stress, increase focus, and help you stay calm under pressure.
For Parents and Caregivers
If you're a parent or guardian of a 16–18-year-old, you may be noticing mood changes, withdrawal, or stress around school and relationships. Therapy can provide essential support during this pivotal stage—building emotional insight, confidence, and healthy coping skills that last well into adulthood.
