Teen Therapy in Six States
(for teens 16+)
Everyone keeps saying you're so mature for your age. You're starting to suspect that isn't entirely a compliment.
This page is for you first — if you're 16 or older, this is therapy for you, not therapy done to you. I'm Logan, a therapist who works over video with older teen girls and young women in California, Illinois, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
What we do in therapyWe'd work on what you actually bring: the anxiety that shows up at 1 a.m., the family stuff you manage that nobody sees, the feeling of performing a self all day and not knowing which one is real.
And no — you don't have to have something "bad enough" to be here. Doubting whether you qualify is one of the most common things people bring me.
Anxiety and panic. Perfectionism and the exhaustion of being the reliable one. Family dynamics that put you in the middle, or in charge. Friendships and relationships where you disappear. First heartbreaks and first identity questions. Trust — in your own judgment, your own feelings, your own read on things — especially if something happened that shook it.
Some of my youngest clients are living the early chapters of stories my adult clients are still untangling: the daughter holding the family together, the one who keeps everyone happy at her own expense. If that's you, starting this work now is a genuine head start.
What we might work on together
What sessions are like (honestly)
Video, from your own room — which most of my teen clients strongly prefer. Sometimes we just talk. Sometimes we use art, music, writing, or imagery, because some things are easier to draw than to announce. You will never be forced to do anything artsy; it's an option, not a requirement. There's no clipboard energy here. You're not a set of symptoms and I'm not grading you.
What you tell me stays between us, with the standard safety exceptions, which I'll explain plainly in our first conversation so there are no surprises. Your therapy is yours.
For parents
Finding a therapist for your teenage daughter
If you're the one reading this page — probably at midnight, probably after a hard week — here's what you should know about how I work.
I see older teen girls (16+) and young women, over secure video, in my six licensed states. I don't take on younger teens, so if that's your family's need, my resources page can help.
My honest philosophy on your role: you matter enormously, and the therapy belongs to her. I'll ask for your perspective early, keep you informed at the level we all agree to, and protect her confidentiality inside that — because a sixteen-year-old who knows her therapist won't report her thoughts to her parents is a sixteen-year-old who might actually say them out loud. That's the trade, and it's the one that works.
Before this practice, I was a Child Advocacy Center therapist and family advocate and worked inside early-learning public charter schools. I've sat with teenagers in the systems that shape them — not just in an office — and I still think the most powerful clinical tool with a sixteen-year-old is taking her seriously.
Questions teens (and parents) ask
-
The working rule: what you say stays with me, except where safety requires otherwise — and I'll tell you exactly where those lines are before you've shared anything. No surprises, no reporting on your inner life.
-
No. We go at your pace, and there are ways to work on hard things — art, imagery, body-based approaches — that don't require narrating them. You're in charge of your own telling.
-
Sessions are $160, $200, or $250 on an equitable three-tier model — families choose what's sustainable. Superbills provided for out-of-network reimbursement; I partner with Thrizer. I see clients in California, Illinois, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. The first 20-minute video consultation is free.

Book the free consultation — teen and parent both welcome on that call, and we'll figure out together what the right setup looks like. Nobody commits to anything on a first call.
