Do you wonder what your feelings are telling you? Do you experience heightened states of awareness or have concerns about how you are being perceived?

I often hear parents say, “I know my teen needs therapy, but I do not have a clue how to get her there.” Therapy doesn’t need to be reserved for life-altering events. Meeting with a therapist is a proactive way to prevent minor issues from turning into major problems. Sometimes an outside perspective is all you need to support the tools you already have.
