Meet your clinician: Kailey Swenson, LPC-IT
Kailey works with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, transitions, family dynamics, and the many changes that come with growing up.
Teens & Young Adults
Growing up is a lot. You don't have to navigate it alone.
Being a teenager or young adult comes with a lot of change. You're figuring out who you are, where you fit, what you want, and how to handle relationships, school, work, family, and everything in between.
And sometimes, it all feels like too much.
Counseling provides a space where you don't have to have everything figured out. It's a place to talk openly, make sense of what you're feeling, and work through the things that are getting in the way of feeling like yourself.
A place to talk about the things that are actually happening
Therapy may be helpful when you're dealing with:
Anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed
Depression or changes in mood
School or academic pressure
Friendships and relationships
Family conflict
Dating and relationship concerns
Self-esteem and confidence
Identity and figuring out who you are
Major life transitions
Difficult or traumatic experiences
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or misunderstood
Managing emotions and communication
You don't have to wait until things become unbearable to ask for help.
Therapy that feels like a conversation—not a lecture
We believe young people deserve to be treated with respect and taken seriously.
Counseling is collaborative. We'll work together to understand what's going on, what matters to you, and what you'd like to be different. That may include talking through what's happening right now, understanding patterns, building new skills, or working through experiences that continue to affect you.
Most importantly, therapy is a space where you can be honest without worrying about having the “right” answer.
For parents and caregivers
Starting therapy can feel like a big decision—for you and for your teen.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment where young people can develop trust, build self-awareness, and feel comfortable engaging in the process. When appropriate, we also work with parents and caregivers to support progress outside of the therapy room while respecting the therapeutic relationship.
Young adulthood has its own challenges.
For young adults, therapy can be especially helpful during the transition into college, work, relationships, independence, and life beyond the structure of home.
You may be figuring out what you want your life to look like while also realizing that some old patterns aren't working anymore.
That's worth talking about.
