Therapy for Creative Teens
Welcome! I’m Jackie, a licensed therapist in Los Angeles, California who specializes in working with sensitive, creative teens. The teens I support are often thoughtful, artistic, and intuitive — and are often struggling with anxiety, stress, low confidence, or feeling overwhelmed by life and expectations.
My approach blends expressive arts therapy with client-centered talk therapy and practical coping tools. We use simple creative activities alongside conversation to explore emotions, build self-trust, and develop healthier ways to navigate school pressure, social challenges, identity questions, and big transitions.
I offer online therapy for teens located in California who are struggling but overall stable, curious about themselves, and open to gentle growth. My work is best suited for families looking for a warm, emotionally attuned, playful approach to therapy.
Getting Started
If you’re wondering whether my approach might be a good fit for your teen, I offer a free 15 minute consultation call for parents and caregivers.
This call is a chance to briefly share what your teen is going through, ask questions about my approach, and get a feel for whether working together might be supportive for your family right now. I’ll also let you know my thoughts on whether my style and scope of practice seem like a good match for your teen, and can offer referrals if another type of care might be more appropriate.
My practice is best suited for teens who are emotionally sensitive and creative, able to participate in weekly online sessions, and not currently in acute crisis or in need of intensive or emergency-level support. If it feels like we might be a good fit, please reach out! I’d love to connect.
