Therapy For Pre-teens, Teens, and Young Adults in Centreville, VA
Individual & Small Group Therapy
Holistic Therapy For Teenagers
Individual and small group therapy for pre-teens, teens, and young adults with Creative Connections is all about focusing on you and your strengths. I use different methods in my therapy for preteens, teens and young adults, like art, music, movement, journaling, and helping others to support you. These hands-on activities can help you celebrate what makes you unique while you work towards your personal, social, academic, or career goals.
For pre teens, teens and young adults ages 10-20, this approach is especially important. It helps you understand yourself better and builds confidence. By exploring your strengths and interests, you can develop skills that will help you in many areas of life. Plus, using creative and holistic techniques makes counseling more engaging and effective. It’s not just about talking; it’s about finding what works best for you and helping you grow in a way that feels right for you.
Boosting Self-Esteem and Confidence
If you're feeling unsure or down about yourself, therapy can help you see your worth and feel more confident in social situations and your goals.
Managing Anxiety and Stress
If you're feeling overwhelmed by school, friends, or personal issues, therapy can give you tools to feel calmer and more in control.
Improving Communication and Relationships
If you're having conflicts with family, friends, or peers, therapy can help you talk and connect in ways that lead to more supportive and peaceful relationships.
How I Help Preteens, Teens and Young Adults (ages 10-20):
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps you spot and change negative thoughts and behaviors that might be dragging you down. It’s really about finding solutions, giving you the tools to control your thoughts and actions better.
Mindfulness / Meditation
Mindfulness is all about staying in the moment, which can really help calm your stress and anxiety. It teaches you how to handle your emotions better and stay focused, making everyday challenges easier to tackle.
Mindfulness Techniques Using Sound
By using the sounds of crystal singing bowls tuned to each of the body’s seven main chakra energy centers, we are able to connect with how your body stores stress. Once we find out how and where you hold stress in your body, we can use the calming sounds from sound bowls to help you relax deeply and clear your mind. It’s a gentle way to make stress and big emotions feel more manageable, helping you feel clearer and more at peace overall.
Theraputic Art Techniques
By using therapeutic art techniques in therapy, you get to use your creativity to explore feelings that might be tricky to talk about. It's a safe way to deal with tough emotions, and making art can make you feel good about yourself and what you can create.
Talk Therapy
In talk therapy, we'll chat about what's on your mind in a safe and supportive space, helping you sort through your feelings and figure things out. It’s also a great way to sharpen your communication skills, which can really help you connect better with others.
