Adolescence can be a challenging developmental stage, and we specialize in the assessment and treatment of a range of mental health concerns that affect adolescents, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and depression.

This period of life often involves navigating the complex balance between dependence and independence. Adolescents may feel both a strong desire for autonomy and a simultaneous need for safety, support, and connection. Dr. Cindy May understands this internal tension and provides a supportive, contained space where teens can explore their thoughts and emotions openly while feeling seen, understood, and respected.

Treatment often involves collaboration with both the adolescent and their parents to support healthy development and communication within the family system. Together, the focus is on building practical tools to help adolescents regulate emotions, strengthen self-confidence, increase resilience, and develop effective coping strategies for life’s challenges.
