Counseling for Teenagers
Do you ever feel like your teenager is speaking a different language? Do you try to help them, but they won't let you in? Do you just want someone to be there that they feel comfortable talking to?
Kaleigh speaks teenager. Many teenagers have found in Kaleigh a person who they can relate to, who they feel comfortable opening up with.

Counseling for Teens Who "Just Don't Like Therapy"
Kaleigh has had several teenage clients who have come to her after having previous therapists treat them 'like a child'. They come to therapy assuming that she'll talk down to them, just color with them, or try to make them talk when they're not ready to.
However, Kaleigh has heard more than once "you're my favorite therapist I've ever had - you actually listen to me". Kaleigh can relate to teenagers in a way that makes them feel comfortable and in control of their counseling journey.
Counseling for Teens with Anxiety
Kaleigh has helped several teenagers with severe anxiety learn to take control over their anxiety, rather than let anxiety control them. Kaleigh helps teens learn to cope with life stressors and increase overall wellness, making anxiety fade to background noise rather than a central focus.
Counseling for Teens with O C D
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not anxiety, and Kaleigh knows that. OCD requires special skills and training to treat successfully. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Kaleigh has successfully treated teenage clients with OCD.
Counseling for Teens with Trauma
Kaleigh is very familiar with the effects of trauma on development, especially in teenage years. Has your child witnessed or experienced something that you wish they hadn't? Kaleigh helps teens overcome trauma and learn to thrive, and sets them up for long-term success.
