Lately you notice your teen has started to pull away from you even more and are making choices that scare you. Punishment does not work anymore and they do not seem to care. People tell you that’s how teenagers are, but it’s gotten to a point where they barely come out of their room anymore. 
 

You Try To Reach Out To Your Teen
 

You try to have a close relationship with your teen, but every time you try it seems like you said the wrong thing. All you got was attitude or a glare when you have been trying so hard to connect. You sensed something was off with them and maybe they even told you they needed help, but you didn’t think it was that serious. Maybe if they would just listen to you they wouldn’t be struggling this bad.
 

It Wasn't Always This Hard
 

You get sad a lot when you remind yourself of the light and joy your child used to bring into your home. You had this dream of being best friends with your kids for life and now that vision is slipping away and they slip into one of their moments of darkness. You want to find someone she can talk to. Someone who can help you support her because that’s really all you want to do…is to help.
 

I'm Haley and I am a Teen Therapist in Sacramento, CA 
 

I help parents find relief for their teens to stop the cycle of stress and tension in the home. My clients find their teens are able to leave the heaviness with me in the therapy room and walk out feeling lighter. They are able to enjoy each other more at home and work toward more connectedness as a family. By building a unique relationship with your teen we can process feelings and identify needs that are getting in the way of your teen’s peace. With therapy you can build that closer relationship with them too.
 

Let's get started! 
 

If you are ready to stop tension in your home and get your teen and family the support they need, contact me for a free phone consultation at (916) 538-9953 to talk more about how therapy with a clear plan and the right therapist can make a difference.

My specialties include teen anxiety, teen school problems, sneaking out, self-harm, and depression.

If you are a teen checking out me as a therapist...this is for you:

You are tired of being told what to do all the time. No one ever listens to you. If they did, maybe they would understand why you are so stressed out all the time.  You are doing everything you can to not fail and the pressure to succeed in sports, academics, and relationships is crushing you.

You just want a break from it all

You've started doing some risky things in the hopes of feeling a little glimmer or fun or relief from the millions of thoughts running through your head.  You are constantly hit with thoughts like, “why cant i just be normal?” “Why is everything so hard for me?” Thoughts of harming yourself are scaring you because you don’t want to die, but you can’t stop wondering what it would be like to have everything stop. It takes so much effort for you just to feel a moment of peace. 

You wan​​t to feel heard

You wish your parent could just love and accept you, listen to your problems and be there for you. But instead you feel like you disappoint them and you end up fighting all the time. You are hoping therapy can bring some relief and finally get to a place where you understand yourself. You want your parents to not only see the real you, but to accept you; mistakes and all. You may be scared to come to therapy, to tell someone your real thoughts and wonder what good that will do.
