Ages 13 to 17
Teen therapy
For teens who want a room of their own to talk, and for parents who want their teen to have one.
A room that is theirs
Sessions are 50 minutes, one on one. Your teen decides how much to say and when.
Skills to take home
Edna teaches simple, practical skills for stress, sleep, school and strong feelings, and your teen tries them between sessions.
Privacy, in writing
Before the first session she sets out what she will share with you and what she will not.
Same-week appointments
Plain-language explanations
The details
Method, limits and cost
The method
Cognitive behavioral therapy skills and family systems therapy. Edna explains each method, with its possible risks and benefits, in the first session.
What this is not
Not an evaluation for school or court, not medication, and not an emergency service. For a crisis, call or text 988.
Length, and how it is paid
50 minutes, and Edna sets the pace with you and your teen; she does not promise a number of sessions. Teen sessions have their own fee, given in writing before you start.

Questions
Three questions about teen therapy
Will you tell me what my teen says?
Not word for word. Before the first session Edna agrees in writing what she will share, such as general themes and any safety concern.
What if my teen does not want to come?
That is common. The first session is a chance to meet Edna, and your teen can say how they would like it to go.
Do I need to come too?
A parent or guardian signs the consent and meets Edna first. After that, parent coaching is optional and separate.
