In addition to working with women, we also help adolescents deal with emotions and life changes while also helping parents find calm and guidance as they experience their adolescent’s teen years. We strive to help you feel empowered to be your best and most authentic self! WHAT DO WE OFFER? Individual Therapy You can't escape the struggles and confusion of being an adult. There are so many transitions, new experiences to navigate, and it's like no one ever tells you how hard they will be. But we’ll be here for you every step of the way - a shoulder in times when life feels overwhelming, or your career is feeling stuck, someone who celebrates with you on those big accomplishments that make all this worth it! Adolescent Counseling It is a gift to get the chance to work with adolescents. They are smart, witty, and bold people who often exhibit eccentric tendencies that put them at odds with what other adults in their life tell them. It can be exhausting for an adolescent because you want autonomy but still need guidance from someone else. The best way I've found we could help these kids overcome this chaotic experience was when we brought outside perspectives into it - which inspired change! Parent Coaching As the world evolves, parents need to be able to relate with their children. Parenting skills coaching is a way of understanding your teen better, whether you're just starting as a first-time parent or are trying to get used to new rules and risks in an evolving world. Ultimately these sessions focus on ensuring that both parents and teenagers have support through what can often be difficult times together. Ready to talk? (646) 921 7032 hello@arenewedfocus.com
