Therapy For Teens In Blaine MN
When your teen is struggling, and they won’t say why.
Let’s give them the space to figure it out.
Does your teen come home and go straight to their room?
Are racing thoughts keeping them up at night?
Is getting them to school a daily fight?
If this describe at least part of what’s going on, you’re in the right place. At Kindred Counseling, I specialize in helping teens work through their emotions, build confidence, and make healthy changes to their life.
Feeling like they’re trying their hardest to just wake up and get out the door.
Trying to hold it all together at school, only to crash when they get home.
Wanting help, but not knowing how to ask for it.
Feeling down and isolating from the people they love.
Watching their peers navigate through life smoothly, but for them it takes alot of work.
Getting caught up in the “what if” questions so that everything feels scary.
If you feel you might lose them forever, let me help them find their way back.
I’ll help them process the events, thoughts, and feelings that led up to the way things are now.
Together, we’ll work on ways to cope and build their self-esteem, giving them the courage they need to face life on their own.
Hello, I’m April Williamson, MA, LMFT
I remember what it felt like to be young, with so many things going on inside of me and no adult who understood me.
That’s why I do this work. I spent over a decade working with students from infants to high schoolers before becoming a therapist, and I’ve learned that teens don’t need someone to tell them what to do, they need someone who relates.
How we’ll work together
Identifying the Anxious Thoughts: We’ll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help them catch the fearful thoughts before they run their life.
Finding Solutions That Work For Them: We’ll use Solution-Focused Therapy to start making actual changes to their daily life.
Building Trust: My approach is always person-centered. They are the expert on their own life, and that is really important with teens. They have to trust me before they’ll listen to me.
