Anything can and will happen when working with adolescents, and that is what is so exciting and rewarding about this unique age group (12 years old and up).

Jason uses an eclectic approach with adolescents to tailor make the treatment intervention to fit the client's needs. Individual therapy is most common and appropriate when working with teenagers. However, family therapy is also encouraged if needed. Parents and other family members are encouraged to participate in treatment through parent consultations, in order to further improve the home environment and improve family functioning.

Treatment Modalities
Using a combination of therapeutic techniques, Jason creates a safe, open, and secure environment to facilitate healing, skill building, and meaningful change. Working with the client, Jason identifies specific individual goals for each client, then guides the client in developing and achieving those goals. As goals are achieved, new goals emerge, and therefore treatment is constantly evolving and adapting to fit the client's present needs.
