As an Oakland therapist, I help anxious teens learn the skills needed to face their fears and get back on track developmentally. Individual therapy can help adolescents learn how to:

• Connect to their inner strengths and resources

• Put worries in perspective

• Not get so wrapped up in their thoughts

• Take safe risks toward things that matter to them

• Be kinder and more patient with themselves

• Take steps toward who they want to be in the world

• Go from living small to living big

• Live courageously even when feeling anxious
