You may also be experiencing some difficulties in social groups and settings, and may have some difficulties at home or in other environments that you might want us to explore together. Youth tend to go through a number of transitions during their developmental years and can often feel overwhelmed by these changes. During these stages you may be experimenting and coming to terms with sexuality; gender identity; various other layers of identity, and different social groups. You may feel out of place in many social circles, and may feel misunderstood by your parents and caregivers, teachers and staff at school, or even your own peer circles. These years can bring up experiences and struggles that require some assistance to understand and resolve. It can often be helpful to engage with a professional during these formative years. As a therapist, I can help you work through, in a safe and effective manner, any issues you have identified as challenges or barriers in life.
