Recent Updates From Marla Dakin
Last updated | Monday February 17, 2025

As a parent, you've been worried about what you see your teen going through. The excessive anxiety about school, relationships, and the struggle to adjust to any change in routine. Their stress level is high and they isolate from friends and family. You watch them play video games, scroll through social media and binge on Netfilx, but they never tell you what's going on. That's the scariest part. You want to help them, but you can't break through. And on top of that, the pandemic. You know it can't continue like this any longer.

I help children and teens express and cope differently with anxiety and depression. I teach skills (CBT and Mindfulness) that they can use right after session and far into their adulthood. My teen counseling focuses on building self-confidence, sharing who they are and how they feel and combating anxiety and depression so they can feel happy and connected.
There is hope for your teen. They don't have to continue to experience high levels of anxiety and depression. I am here to help. If you want to guide your teen towards more ease and confidence (and if you want to worry less, too!), contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.
