Just for Teens

I’m here to tell you, there is no need to suffer alone. Support is here. I want to provide a judgment-free zone just for you.

No pressure. Just real talk about what’s going on and how you want things to feel different. Whether you’re feeling anxious, depressed, angry, stressed, lost, or just need someone to talk to, we’ll figure it out—your way.


Being a teenager can be kinda extra right now. Stress from school, keeping your grades up, nagging parents and social drama can get overwhelming, really fast. Our society expects a lot from the youth these days. If you feel this way, don’t stress! You are NOT alone. In fact, about 3 out of 10 teens, living in Washington State, will experience symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Do any of the “thoughts” below, sound familiar?

I’m tired of struggling to keep it all together.

I’m over feeling like everything I do is wrong.

I wish I could stop pretending everything is ok.

Why can’t I just be my real self, without being criticized or judged?

at vibrant life counseling…

You steer the ship.

I’m here to listen — no judgment, no pressure.
Therapy gives you a safe space to talk about whatever’s on your mind: stress, emotions, family, school, or just feeling off. My job isn’t to fix you, you are NOT broken. You just need a little support that’s all. Everyone needs another person to just listen. If you want, I can teach you new skills that might help you understand more about yourself. Discovering your truth is exciting. Learning how to handle life in a way that works for you is a journey.

At the end of the day, I want you to know…

You have the power to write your own story. Past experiences don’t have to keep holding you back.

You’re stronger than you realize.
