ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS

Teens and young adults experiment with a variety of risky behaviors including substances like alcohol, nicotine vapes, and marijuana, gambling, pornography, and excess computer gaming and technology use. Left untreated, these habits can manifest into full-fledged addictions. My short-term treatment helps to stop these behaviors in their tracks and give your child the tools they need to live a healthy, productive life.

ACADEMIC PROBLEMS

Whether at home or in person, is your child ready to take on school this year? Or are you concerned your son or daughter is going to flunk out of college? Perhaps they already dropped out and you don’t know what to do next. However, their college career doesn’t have to end there. My assessment will help us figure out the root cause of your child’s academic struggles and put together a plan to help put them back on the right track.

ANXIETY, DEPRESSION & ANGER TREATMENT

What should parents do when their child seems perfectly happy one moment, but in a fiery rage the next? Symptoms like depression, anger and anxiety may seem “normal” at that age, but left untreated, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, or even suicide. My therapy focuses on working with the family to reduce parent-child conflict and design a plan for successful outcomes.

FLEXIBILITY & IN-PERSON SAFETY

Available throughout the week to fit within your hectic schedule including weekends and evenings. I provide a comfortable in-person environment for all individuals with enhanced safety protocols. For those who don’t feel comfortable or are unable to do face-to-face therapy I am happy to offer telehealth sessions. I accept credit cards, checks and cash and I am qualified as a reimbursable out-of-network provider. Call to book an appointment today!

Services

I provide personalized treatments and evidence-backed tools to help you accomplish your goals.

Assessments

What should you do when your child refuses to talk to you? Or you think he is smoking too much pot? Gaming or on the computer too much? Or does he just seem depressed or anxious? The best next step a parent can take is getting their child assessed. It’s fairly simple: I sit down and talk with your child to understand his perspective of what he believes to be the problem. After, I will bring in the parents so they can express their side. In my 25+ years of experience I find this sets the groundwork for determining not only the challenges at hand but also how these issues can be overcome.

Addictive Behaviors Treatment

It may seem quite normal for your teen to play video games, experiment with alcohol and pot with friends, and spend hours online. However, it’s these early risk-factors which can quickly spiral out of control into a major problem. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to step in and recognize the signs of abuse and seek help from an expert. My treatment addresses all types of addictions and dangerous behaviors including: gambling, gaming, substance use, porn, and overuse of technology.

Life Skills, Goals & Planning

Whether preparing for college or life after, I will help guide adolescents through the tricky waters of adulthood. Together we will establish realistic short- and long-term goals along with a tangible plan to achieve them. 

Depression Evaluation & Treatment

Navigating depression as a teenager can feel like an overwhelming journey. It impacts your school life, relationships, and daily routines. I will provide an evaluation and create a short-term plan to guide your child toward a brighter future.

RESEARCH-DRIVEN PRACTICE

My psychotherapy incorporates the latest research and techniques for the most successful outcomes. This data-driven approach, pulls from the latest studies on effective treatments. Ultimately, my short term treatments produce beneficial outcomes for teens and their families.

Testimonials

Our son had been depressed for years and we just wanted to see him happy again. We had tried several therapists who didn’t truly understand our son and we honestly felt helpless before coming to Ed. He genuinely connected with our son and gave him a renewed approach to find enjoyment in school and socially.

Melissa & Tom

I go to bed at 11 each night – and thought my son did the same.  However, he would stay up playing video games and watching porn until sometimes as late as 4 am. Enough was enough. Thank you for working with my son to help him control his computer use.

Sharon

I never realized the negative impact pot had on my son until he worked with you. Since then he has been applying himself in college and next year he will graduate. We truly can’t thank you enough for giving him the tools he needed.

Andy

Prior to working with Ed, I struggled with constant distractions, and my ADHD seemed to have control over my life. After several sessions I acquired valuable skills that have not only enhanced my daily life but also allowed me to manage my condition in a healthier and more effective manner.

Karen

My quality of life today compared to 2 years ago is incredible. I just got offered my old job back. My parents seem really happy. Thanks to your assessment and step-by-step plan I have learned to understand my brain chemistry and what was causing my depression.
