Stress Management

Stress can compromise a teenager’s health, lead to unwanted habits, interfere with his or her ability to concentrate, and disrupt sleep. My sessions are very relaxing and give teens tools to stop ruminating, prevent catastrophic thinking, and remain grounded and effective despite the stressful situations they encounter.

Mindset coaching helps teens cope with the stress that comes with

• peer pressure
• problems with friends, a romantic partner, or family
• academic demands
• trying to balance academics with social and extracurricular activities
• applying for colleges and scholarships
• family crises, including divorce or a family member with a serious illness
• the death of a loved one
• the transition from middle school to high school
• adapting to a new school, home, or community

To complement our sessions, I teach all of my stress-management clients how to do a progressive relaxation, breathing techniques, and self-guided imagery—tools that will benefit them their whole lives.
