Individual Therapy for Older Teens
Online therapy services in Colorado
My office is wherever you are!
Skip the commute and support your teen’s well-being.
Deciding to seek therapy for your teen is a meaningful and proactive step.
However, between school schedules, extracurricular activities, family responsibilities, and long commutes, especially in and around the Denver area. As a result, getting to weekly in-person therapy sessions can quickly become overwhelming.
When your family’s schedule is already full, accessing consistent support shouldn’t add more stress. Virtual therapy can help remove stress and provide the support your teen needs.
It can be challenging to take the first step.
I understand that you might be hesitant to see therapy virtually. It’s completely normal to feel unsure about whether virtual therapy is the right choice for your teen.
As a therapist who uses virtual therapy as my primary approach, I strongly believe in its effectiveness, and this is why my practice is fully virtual.
This format works especially well for teens balancing school, sports, and social commitments. While it may feel different at first, many teens find it easier to open up when they’re in a familiar, comfortable environment.
Even through a screen, a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship can absolutely be built.
How effective is virtual relative to in-person therapy?
Research has shown that virtual therapy is as helpful as in-person therapy.
When working virtually, all sessions are held on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform designed for privacy. Your teen needs a stable internet connection, a quiet and private space, and a phone, tablet, or computer.
With consistent participation and openness, therapy can help your teen develop emotional awareness, coping skills, and greater confidence in navigating challenges.
If in-person sessions are difficult to coordinate or stressful for your teen, virtual therapy offers a flexible, accessible alternative.
Teens benefit from this form of therapy.
Being an older teen is a challenging time in one's life. They are neither a child nor an adult, and the transition is a period of growth and stress.
Individual teen therapy offers many benefits because it provides a safe space to voice concerns and receive support and help, free from criticism.
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to explore whether this approach is a good fit for your teen and your family.
