Individual Therapy for Teens, Preteens & Family
“Teenage years can be confusing and challenging.”
Your journey of self-discovery is just beginning yet you can often feel insecure, different, unaccepted, and uncomfortable in your skin. Teens feel things more intensely and sometimes may feel misunderstood by the adults in their lives. Therapy offers a safe space to be heard and validated. It is such an honor to offer that space and be a part of your journey. Feelings of anxiety and depression are common amongst adolescents and can look different from one person to the next. We have found that in order to feel the benefits of therapy, it is our job to provide a nurturing space for you to be yourself. We are passionate about helping you identify your strengths and innate qualities that are within to help you grow as an individual.
We support teens with a vast array of challenges. Below, we have listed some reasons a teenager may come in to meet with us. We hope that if something on this list resonates with you, you will give us a call to see how we can be helpful to you on your journey.

Family Therapy
“We believe that much of what becomes our inner workings starts in the home.”
Let us help you reorganize and develop a better flow in your relationships so that you can improve family dynamics and break general patterns that have negatively impacted you and your family. We welcome whomever you define as “family” on a journey of striving to respect, communicate, understand, and enjoy one another. We are honored to work with both biological and chosen families through the process of realignment to find love and laughter again, no matter what the presenting problem may be.
Families go through huge changes over a lifetime and it can be difficult to remain united through it all. Your therapist will work with all of you in an interactive way to involve all participants. Family therapy begins with an initial meeting with all members to discuss therapy expectations. This will be followed by a family assessment with the therapist strongly advocating for each member to be heard and understood.
The structure and connection of a family can often be compromised when there is loss of a loved one, divorce, marriage, loss of trust, life transitions, or when children come of age. Soul Story Therapy will support your family by building deeper understanding and teaching skills to evolve and grow together instead of apart.
If you feel your family may benefit from therapy, contact us for a free phone consultation.
