TEEN GIRLS
Counseling &
Family Counseling
in Lake Mary
It’s never been harder to be a teen girl than it is right now.
Between constant pressure, comparison, and expectations, many girls are silently struggling just to keep up, and feeling like they’re falling short. Many of the girls I work with are dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, low motivation, self-harm, or feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
As a parent, watching your daughter struggle can feel heartbreaking, especially when you’re not sure what else to do. I support both teens and their parents, helping girls feel understood, build healthy coping skills, strengthen their confidence, and develop the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges during adolescence.

Teen Girl Counseling
Frequently Asked Questions
You might just have a gut feeling that something is off. Maybe she seems more anxious, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or not quite like herself lately. If her emotions, behavior, or stress are starting to impact daily life, teen counseling can really help her feel supported and give her tools to navigate what she’s going through.
Yes, parents will absolutely be involved in your teen's therapy. Your daughter will have her own space to open up, but I also offer family counseling. I’ll help you better understand what she’s going through and give you practical tools so you can feel more confident in how to support her at home.
This is very normal. Most teens feel unsure and maybe even refuse at first. I focus on building trust and creating a space that feels comfortable and not intimidating. Usually by the end of the first session, I find that teen girls are smiling and asking their moms to come back!
I am a private pay practice. This allows our work to stay focused on your daughter, without diagnosis labels or session limits, and gives us more flexibility to go at the pace she actually needs. I keep my caseload intentionally small to give each of my client's more personalized care.
Yes, I do offer Christian counseling for teen girls and families, but only if that is something your family wants. This might look like talking through struggles from a faith perspective, exploring identity and self- worth. This is always optional, and I work with many families who prefer a more traditional approach as well.
