Sometimes tensions grow within the family, and it’s important for the family unit to adjust to these changes. In family counseling we look at relationship patterns and healthy ways to communicate. The teen years offer opportunity for growth and influence, but are often faced with challenges of finding where they want to fit in. Other challenges adolescents face are peer pressure, self-esteem, family dynamics, social isolation, bullying, sexual identity, school/sport pressure alcohol and drugs to name a few. Therapy offers teens the chance to connect to their emotions in a safe place, as well as develop healthy coping skills. Therapy from a collaborative approach helps teens to feel supported and understood. https://www.drcouturetherapy.com/about daily 0.75 2020-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606358662456-WW3OZNUT3GGQD9OZFOXC/professionalphoto.JPG About - About me… I am a California based associate marriage family therapist. I have an M.A. in Marriage Family Therapy from California Graduate Institute and a doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology-Los Angeles. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient programs and inpatient rehab facilities. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic, though I value utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to develop coping strategies. I work collaboratively to expose the relationship between past and present. We will explore and gain insight in order to understand the present. Through this exploration we will uncover what went wrong, and I can provide the tools to move forward and heal. My practice is open and supportive to all genders, sexual orientation, ethnicities, backgrounds and religious practices. I want to support you in this courageous process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606671022254-NAR83H6KD2PKPAS2SIZS/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606670863962-NQF72ND48FO4U8ZFT8CZ/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606589120364-JY74RL5RZR056TMSOE6E/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606588786774-A7OKDQQ0G20IDSTCR151/image-asset.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbee617a5bc066edf9a1080/1606588567750-315SIINJFY3TH6X4ZCXE/image-asset.jpeg About https://www.drcouturetherapy.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-08-18 https://www.drcouturetherapy.com/support-groups daily 0.75 2025-11-28 https://www.drcouturetherapy.com/faqs daily 0.75 2021-01-19
