Who this is for

Growing up is hard. The skills to handle it can be learned.

Dr. Emily works with teens and young adults, ages 13 to 23, who are smart and capable but feel stuck. Big emotions take over, deadlines slip, conversations turn into arguments, or the next step after school feels overwhelming. Together, you build concrete skills and a plan you can actually follow.

What we work on

Skills for school, work, relationships, and home

Emotion regulation

Noticing what sets off big feelings, calming down faster, and responding in ways you won't regret later.

Organization and planning

Systems for assignments, deadlines, and daily routines that hold up, so less falls through the cracks.

Communication skills

Saying what you need clearly, handling disagreements calmly, and repairing things when a conversation goes wrong.

Career and goal progress

Turning big goals into small, doable steps, and staying on track through school, applications, and first jobs.

Family challenges

Less conflict at home, clearer expectations, and a relationship with parents that works for this stage of life.

Attention and follow-through

Strategies for focus, motivation, and getting started, including for teens and young adults with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

How it works

What working together looks like

1.

Start with a free call

A free 15-minute call to talk through what's going on and whether working together is the right fit.

2.

A plan built around your goals

Weekly 1-on-1 appointments focused on the skills that matter most to you, with practice between sessions so progress carries into real life.

3.

Family involved when it helps

For teens, parents are part of the process when it helps. Young adults can work with Dr. Emily on their own, with family included only if they choose.

Common questions

Questions from teens, young adults, and parents

Who can reach out?

Parents can reach out for a teen. Young adults ages 18 to 23 are welcome to book a free call for themselves.

Is this the same as The Parent Steps?

No. The Parent Steps is a parent training program for families of children ages 3 to 12. Work with teens and young adults is tailored to their age and goals, and centers on building their own skills. Learn about The Parent Steps.

Do you work with teens and young adults outside Florida?

Dr. Emily is licensed in Florida, so therapy is available to teens and young adults who live in Florida.

What does it cost?

$900 per month for weekly 1-on-1 appointments.

Can we use Step Up Scholarship funds or insurance?

Yes. Step Up For Students funds can be reimbursed for Florida families who have the scholarship. Superbills and receipts are provided for Step Up Scholarship reimbursement, and families can also use superbills to submit to their insurance.
