Teens like me

MY TEEN CLIENTS HAVE SAID

They appreciate that I’m easy to talk to, honest, funny & knowledgeable

 

Doing the work of therapy together

My sessions are personal and casual, which allows for you and your teen to quickly and easily feel comfortable with me.

But don’t mistake casual for not working.

Will I tell parents everything?

Absolutely not. I’m strict about maintaining the confidentiality of my clients. This means that you will be able to easily be vulnerable and honest with me during sessions.

FAQs

 

How does confidentiality work for teens in therapy?

Confidentiality is the same for all individuals in therapy. Everything that is shared in a therapy session is kept confidential, with these exceptions:

  • The client is a danger towards him/herself

  • There is a threat of safety towards others

  • If there is a report of past or current abuse

How do parents know what’s happening in their teen’s therapy?

I don’t share the details of therapy sessions with anyone, even parents. If there is something of concern, I will obtain permission from the child to share with the parent. If safety or harm is an issue, however, those things are reported regardless of client permission.

Tips to Parents regarding confidentiality

You have sought therapy for your teen. Or maybe they asked for it. So the therapeutic experience belongs to them. If you ask and they don’t want to share the details with you, then I strongly encourage you to accept that request and not push it any further.
