Kids Age 11yrs to 17yrs

Yes, we work with adolescents ages 11 to 17; with intention.

Teens are not just "older kids" or "mini adults"; they're often caught between independence and expectations. This developmental range is extremely complex. As the brain develops higher levels of cognition and self-consciousness, just existing becomes confusing. Now, pile on social, cultural, economic, racial, or family stress and mental health can deteriorate quickly. 

​

We don’t pathologize adolescence. We honor it. This means centering autonomy, consent, identity, and emotional safety.
