Sonja Smith

Sonja Smith understands that the teenage years present profound challenges for both adolescents and their parents. As children navigate increasing social pressures and academic demands, they encounter tough choices and heightened responsibilities. Amidst raging hormones and strained relationships, parents often find themselves feeling frustrated and exhausted in their efforts to support their children in achieving their full potential. This dynamic can lead to power struggles and frequent conflicts within the parent-child relationship. For families facing these difficulties, teen counseling can prove to be a valuable resource. A skilled teen therapist with specialized training in adolescent issues can facilitate meaningful improvements. Sonja's approach to therapy empowers teens to process unresolved issues, make healthier choices, and effectively engage with their environment. Acknowledging that children may initially resist the notion of counseling, Sonja has created a unique teen room that caters to their specific interests and needs, all while providing a supportive structure. Sonja targets a wide array of concerns in teen counseling, including grief, trauma, substance use, anger management, behavioral challenges, divorce, social skills development, bullying, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and self-harm. In addition, she offers child counseling utilizing play therapy to address issues such as school challenges, anxiety, bullying, ADHD/ADD, and social difficulties, further showcasing her commitment to the well-being of the youth she serves.
