What age range do you work with?

We work with teens starting at age 13 for DBT and CBT. Neurofeedback is available starting at age 5, particularly for ADHD, attention challenges, and anxiety.

Do you accept insurance?

No. This is a private pay practice, with rates averaging $250 per session, varying by length. Clients can check their potential reimbursement directly through Mentaya before the first appointment.

Will my teen have to open up about everything right away?

No. The first several sessions are focused on building trust and understanding what's going on, not extracting every detail on day one. Teens open up at the pace that's right for them, especially once they understand what stays private.

My teen doesn't want to come. Can this still work?

It can, though it helps to have an honest conversation before the first session about why you're reaching out. Many teens who are initially resistant find that the first session feels less clinical and more like an actual conversation than they expected.

I'm a teenager looking for therapy. What should I do?

Start by sharing this page, or just what you're feeling, with a parent. Getting help usually works best when a parent is part of that first conversation, so the best next step is reaching out together once they know what's going on.

Is phone and text coaching really available to teens?

Yes. It's included in the fee for every client, including teens, and meant for real moments between sessions, not general check-ins or scheduling questions. For a lot of teens, texting is simply how they communicate most naturally, so having that option can matter more than it sounds.

What if my teen might have borderline personality disorder, but no one has said that yet?

That's common. A full BPD diagnosis isn't given before adulthood, but the underlying patterns, like intense emotions, unstable relationships, or a shaky sense of self, can be identified and treated in the teen years. This is often described as emerging BPD, and DBT is the evidence-based treatment for it.

What Brings Families Here

Struggling can look different in every child or teen. It might be emotional, a learning difficulty getting in the way, or something more serious like self-harm. If you don't know how to help, or where to start, that's usually a sign outside help is needed.

Reaching out isn't easy, whether what you're noticing feels small or genuinely frightening. You don't need to know which one it is before you contact us.

Neurofeedback is available for children as young as 5. DBT and CBT are available for teens 13 and up. Together, we can figure out what's going on and whether evaluation or treatment makes sense.

We Treat in Children and Teens

Self-Harm & Suicidal Thoughts

DBT is the evidence-based treatment for self-harm and suicidal thoughts in teens. Signs can include withdrawal, mood changes, or talk about not wanting to be here anymore.

Emerging Borderline Personality Disorder

This can look like unstable emotions, relationships, or a shaky sense of self, beyond typical moodiness. A diagnosis isn't given until adulthood, but DBT can treat these patterns sooner.

ADHD & Attention Challenges

A child who can't settle into schoolwork, or a teenager whose mind won't quiet down. Neurofeedback with qEEG brain mapping works with this directly, starting at age 5.

Obsessive-compulsive Disorder

Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors your teen may be too ashamed to bring up. Treatment may include CBT, DBT, neurofeedback, or a combination, depending on their history.

Anxiety & Depression

Worry, avoidance, or a low mood interfering with school, friendships, or daily life. The assessment identifies what's driving it, so the right approach follows from there.

Trauma & Nervous System Overwhelm

When a child or teen's nervous system stays on high alert long after something stressful or traumatic. Treatment may include CBT, neurofeedback, or both.

What Treatment Looks Like

These skills get built with real material, not hypotheticals. In session, we work with whatever happened in your week: the urge you almost acted on, the argument that spiraled, the moment you needed to change course but didn't know how. We take that material and apply the skill that fits. Session by session, those skills start to hold on their own.
