As a Licensed Professional Counselor and former middle school counselor, Aspen recognizes that adolescence is a tremendously challenging life stage for young people and families alike. Young people often benefit from additional support as they experience the social and emotional challenges that come with this dynamic stage of life. Counseling can be a valuable resource for helping them better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to feel more grounded and capable. Families and adolescents may find counseling helpful in areas such as friendships and relationships, developing a sense of belonging and self-esteem, managing anxiety and academic pressures, understanding neurodivergence, and strengthening family relationships, among many others. Aspen’s approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from attachment theory, family systems, DBT, CBT, ACT, and somatic approaches. She strives to create a space where young people feel understood rather than judged, and where they can slow down, be themselves, and make sense of what they’re experiencing so they can find balance and learn to thrive.
