anxiety therapy for teens and young adults
online and in ridgewood, nj
Navigate adolescence with confidence.
You’re a teen or young adult who feels completely overwhelmed…
It’s hard to imagine that life will get easier.
Life can feel like a lot—like you’re supposed to have it all figured out while juggling a million things (and still remembering to drink enough water):
The pressure to be perfect is real, and worrying about the future just adds more weight.
Even small tasks can feel overwhelming.
Relationships can get tense.
Big life changes? Completely draining.
The fear of messing up or not being “enough” can lead to a loop of overthinking and self-doubt.
Therapy gives you a space to pause, sort through the chaos, and break that cycle. You’ll build tools to handle challenges with more confidence, self-acceptance, and maybe even a little humor along the way.
Look at what really sets off your anxiety—whether it’s certain situations, thoughts, or feelings—and get a better understanding of your triggers.
Learn and practice coping skills—like mindfulness, grounding techniques, and distress tolerance tools—to help manage anxiety when it starts to take over. (Yes, there's more to it than just deep breathing... but that helps too!)
Here’s what we’ll do together
Work on boosting your self-esteem and showing yourself some love so those overwhelming thoughts and constant self-criticism don’t have so much power over you.
Pick up some skills to handle big life changes—like starting college, diving into a new job, or moving to a new city—without completely freaking out.
Are you a teen or young adult who:
Struggles to get to school every day because your brain’s got more tabs open than your phone on a busy day?
Is finding the whole “adjusting to college” thing a bit like trying to learn a new language (but no one gave you a dictionary)?
Feels like stress is piling up and managing everything is becoming a game of “how much can I handle before I explode”?
Wants to stop butting heads with family and friends and actually enjoy spending time with them?
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
You get more comfortable speaking up and setting boundaries—without spiraling over whether you sounded “mean” or if someone’s mad at you. (Spoiler: they’re probably not.)
Life doesn’t feel like one never-ending to-do list you’re constantly behind on. You start giving yourself credit without needing everything to be 100% perfect.
You feel more in tune with yourself—like you’re finally starting to understand your emotions instead of just trying to hide or fix them.
Your past mistakes don’t keep hijacking your brain. You can remember them without reliving every awkward convo at 2 a.m.
