Mental Health Counseling
for Adolescents (14+)

Adolescence is a season of growth and challenge. We provide counseling for teens ages 14+ navigating anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image issues, perfectionism, stress, and identity concerns. Sessions build resilience, support healthy relationships, and help teens thrive at home, school, and beyond.

Mental Health Counseling
for Athletes & High Achievers

From the field to the boardroom, performance pressure can take its toll. We help athletes, performers, and high-achieving professionals manage stress, recover from burnout, build confidence, cope with and return to play after injury, manage performance anxiety, explore relationships and leadership issues and sharpen focus — so they can excel both in life and in their chosen arenas.
