Ages 13 to 19
Teen therapy
A room of their own, with Bria. For teens who live between two homes, with a stepparent, with a grandparent or in foster care.
A teen does not owe a stranger their story. The first sessions are about getting comfortable: what they want from this hour, what is off the table, and what the adults at home can do differently.
A parent or caregiver joins for a few minutes at the start and the end, so everyone knows the plan.
What to expect
Fifty minutes, once a week or every other week
In person on Waters Avenue or by video from home
A parent or legal guardian signs the consent
How teen therapy works
What a session looks like
Talking, mostly, at a pace your teen sets. Some sessions use drawing, lists or a walk around the block if sitting still is hard.
How we work
Bria uses talk therapy and skills practice built around what your teen brings. She explains what she is doing and why, in plain words.
What this is not
It is not a school meeting, a report to the court or a place where teens are told what is wrong with them. Bria is not an emergency service.
How often, and how it is paid
Your clinician sets the pace with you and changes it as things change. Fees, insurance and receipts are on the fees page.
How fees work
Three questions
Will you tell me what my teen says?
We tell you how things are going and what would help at home. What a teen says stays between them and Bria, within the limits explained at the first session and on the consent page.
What if my teen does not want to come?
That is common. We can start with a parent session, or with a short first visit where your teen decides whether to come back.
Can a parent sit in?
For the first few minutes and the last, yes. The rest of the hour is your teen's.
