OUR PROCESS
How Adolescent Counseling Works
at Forging Progress
Helping Teens Turn Pressure Into Progress
Adolescence can feel like constant pressure—pressure to perform, fit in, make choices, and appear confident even when everything feels uncertain. At Forging Progress, counseling isn’t about labels or lectures. It’s about helping teens slow down, sort through what’s real, and build the confidence and emotional tools they need to thrive. Growth happens when they feel seen, heard, and supported—exactly as they are.
Dr. Renée López, PhD, is a Licensed Psychologist with extensive experience working with adolescents and high performers. A former Division I athlete and Sport Psychologist at Georgia Tech Athletics, she understands both the pressures of performance and the challenges teens face in daily life. Her evidence-based, compassionate approach helps teens reduce anxiety, build resilience, and discover their strengths.
