Teen Therapies
 Your teen may benefit from counseling if you begin noticing ongoing emotional, behavioral, social, or academic changes that seem unusual or difficult to manage alone. While every teen experiences challenges, counseling can provide valuable support when struggles begin interfering with daily life, relationships, or emotional well-being.
 Signs counseling may be helpful include:
  • Increased anxiety, excessive worry, or frequent stress
  • Sadness, crying spells, or signs of depression
  • Withdrawal from family or friends
  • Sudden mood swings or irritability
  • Declining grades or loss of motivation at school
  • Difficulty managing emotions or anger
  • Low self-esteem or negative self-talk
  • Changes in sleeping or eating habits
  • Difficulty coping with divorce, grief, or family changes
  • Social struggles or peer relationship problems
  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
  • Trouble adjusting to middle school or high school transitions
  • Perfectionism or overwhelming pressure to succeed
  • Frequent emotional outbursts or shutting down emotionally
  • Difficulty communicating thoughts or feelings
Using approaches such as Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help adolescents develop emotional resilience, confidence, communication skills, and healthy decision-making abilities. I also incorporate somatic therapy, mindfulness techniques, strengths-based counseling, solution-focused therapy, and expressive interventions tailored to each teen’s unique personality, emotional needs, and developmental stage.


Art Therapy provides a comfortable and creative way for teens to express emotions that may feel difficult to communicate verbally. CBT helps adolescents recognize and challenge negative thought patterns, while DBT supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, healthy boundaries, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness and relaxation strategies can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and teach healthy coping skills for managing stress and overwhelming emotions. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where teens feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions openly. Through the counseling process, adolescents can build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, improve relationships, and gain practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and emotional balance..
S.B. C., a mother , said:
"Lisa Evans really helped my son get adjusted to the loss of his dad.  His mood affected the entire family, like we were all walking under a painful dark cloud. While all of us struggled with the loss, my son became increasingly resistant to rules. His grades were failing, and his disrespect was to the point we no longer spoke. My biggest fear was drugs,  Through therapy he was given tools to manage his anger and  we were able to understand each other better through family sessions.  We still have problems sometimes because he's still growing into an adult, but I know we have a trusted therapist we can turn to when needed."
