Helping individuals and families feel courageous, connected, capable, and that they count.

Teen Counseling in Grand Forks, ND

Personalized teen counseling focused on emotional wellness, connection, and growth.

The teenage years can bring significant emotional, social, and personal challenges. Between school pressures, friendships, family dynamics, identity development, social media, and major life changes, teens often carry more stress than they know how to express. At Courageous Connections, teen counseling provides a supportive and judgment-free space where adolescents can feel heard, understood, and emotionally supported.


Located in Grand Forks, ND, Courageous Connections offers personalized teen counseling focused on helping adolescents develop healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, confidence, communication skills, and resilience. Therapy is tailored to each teen’s individual personality, experiences, and needs while creating a safe environment where meaningful connection and growth can happen.


Teen counseling may help address concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem struggles, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, grief, family conflict, school-related stress, peer relationships, and major life transitions. Sessions are designed to help teens better understand themselves, navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and build practical tools for everyday life.


At Courageous Connections, the goal is to help teens feel courageous, connected, capable, and that they count while supporting both emotional wellness and long-term personal growth.

Our Approach

Children and Families:

With children and families, I use Adlerian Play Therapy which is a systems approach to looking at the family as a whole. Kids don’t develop in a bubble. I believe we can better understand what is going on with your child by looking both at them individually, in the family, and at school. Through their experiences and behaviors in these environments and settings, we can get a fuller picture and better learn how to help your child and your family. Children do not come to therapy to talk. Play therapy enables them to process their experiences through play using things like experiential play, storytelling, metaphors, art, movement, music/dance, and sand tray therapy. 


Adults:

With Adults, the approach depends on the concern brought into the therapy room. I tend to be more integrative with adults, pulling interventions from many different theoretical modalities unless the presenting concern is trauma.
