Teen Therapy in Fullerton & Online Throughout California
The Teen Years:
Anxiety, Isolation, And Low Motivation
You notice their anxiety, mood swings, and withdrawal. You want to connect, but asking, “How was school today?” just gets you the short “Good,” “It was fine,” or “Everything sucks.” These days, teens face more pressure than ever, resulting in low motivation, self-esteem issues, closing inwards, and your concerns with how they’re coping through it all.
Fortunately, with the right support, they can thrive.
Therapy helps unpack what fuels anxiety and depression, make sense of their world, and gives teens tools to move forward.
Hi, I’m Josh and I love helping teens and families thrive.
As a father myself, I know how the love we have for our children and our worry for them often go hand-in-hand. Working together, my hope is that you’ll feel more at ease, have a deeper understanding of what’s going on, and that your teen will feel momentum to move forward too.
I specialize in helping teen reduce their overwhelm, regain motivation, and reconnect with their families. Many teens struggle with stress, self-doubt, and tension at home, even when they seem distant or that they don’t care. I help them uncover the capable, confident person beneath the frustration and fear. I also guide parents with practical strategies to engage in conversations and support their children so you can feel just as empowered with their growth. Let’s talk!

Absolutely. At the end of each session, I can generate a receipt (aka "superbill") for you to request reimbursement from your insurance provider. Most people are unaware they can do this – I’m happy to help guide you through how this works!
