Therapy for Teen Girls (In-Person in Frisco, TX & Virtual in TX, AZ, & MT)
The teenage years are tough for parents and their daughters. Puberty. Boundary pushing. Social pressure. The looming anxiety of picking the right college or career path. And it’s even harder when your daughter is struggling with her mental health. Maybe you’ve noticed changes in her mood, sleep, or eating habits. Maybe she’s pulling away from her friends and won’t tell you what’s bothering her. Maybe she’s staying home from school a lot because of headaches or stomachaches.
Therapy can help, especially when parents are involved in the process. That’s why we’ll work together to support your daughter so that she can start feeling like herself again. If you’d like to learn more, click the button below to schedule a free 15-minute call with me.
How Therapy Can Help Your Teen Daughter

In-Person & Virtual Therapy Options
I offer in-person therapy sessions in Frisco, TX and virtual therapy throughout TX, AZ, and MT. There’s a lot of advantages to virtual therapy (no commute traffic, no waiting to pick your daughter up from her sessions, more convenience and flexibility), but some teen girls prefer talking to their therapist face-to-face. Whichever format your daughter prefers for her therapy sessions, I’ve got you covered.

Individual Sessions with Parent/Guardian Consultations
One of the greatest influences on your teen daughter’s treatment progress is the relationship that she has with her therapist. In individual therapy, this relationship is built, session by session, through one-on-one interactions between your daughter and her therapist.
Your involvement as a parent/guardian is incredibly important for your daughter’s overall wellbeing and her therapeutic outcomes, but it shouldn’t take away from her individual therapy sessions. That’s why I schedule separate consultations for the parents/guardians of my minor clients where we can meet regularly to discuss the progress your child is making, make changes to the treatment plan and goals, and work together to support your child.

Collaborative Support
Your teen doesn’t exist in a vacuum and neither should her therapy. Good therapy involves collaborating with the important people in your teen’s life (e.g. school staff, psychiatrists, doctors, etc.) to support her overall wellbeing.

What Therapy CAN'T Do:
Therapy is not a magical cure or a quick fix. Lots of factors can influence how long your teen is in therapy before meeting her treatment goals, including her willingness to engage and participate in therapy, family support and stressors, and more. If you choose me as your daughter’s therapist, we’ll discuss her progress during our regular parent/guardian consultations and work together to support her. If you feel your daughter isn’t making progress in our sessions, or if she needs more intensive support than outpatient therapy can provide, we’ll talk through your options and I’ll make any necessary referrals to support your daughter.
