Anxiety, school avoidance, low mood, ADHD and figuring out who they are
Tasha confirms your consult time within one business day.
“Teens can tell in about four minutes whether you're going to lecture them. I don't.”
I work with teens and college students who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, school avoidance, ADHD, or the work of figuring out who they are. My approach is DBT-informed, practical, and built around what is actually happening in your week. I see people after school and on Saturday mornings, and I lead our Wednesday evening teen skills group.
