Teens & Pre-teens

“There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have.”—Howard Thurman

I work with children eight years and older, as well as teens, struggling with anxiety, depression, conflict, gender/sexuality issues, and trauma. My approach is based on acceptance of each family’s unique situation, with a focus on emotional and nervous system self-regulation in order to increase the range of choices available to each family member.

Under Colorado law, children 15 years and older have the same confidentiality rights as adults, which means parents or other guardians cannot view their 15-year-old child’s confidential client records without a release from the client. For current patients, this goes into effect on the child’s 15th birthday. Billing records will be available to the payor.
