EFFECTIVE THERAPY FOR TEENS & ADULTS

Hello! I’m Malena Ally, a therapist in Encino, California, specializing in ages 10 and up. My career focuses on children, adolescents, parents, and school systems, with a particular passion for working with adolescents during their crucial brain development and growth.

Teens can be incredibly smart and tuned in. They are also sensitive to the demands placed on them by family, friends, and society. The added pressures of social media have increased bullying behaviors. These pressures have also increased anxiety in recent years. They decrease attention, self-esteem, and social skills. I work with a lot of teens and young adults. They deal with anxiety, depression, and attention disorders. They also struggle with low self-esteem, trauma, and self-harming behaviors. I empathize with young people who are dealing with different pressures. I also enjoy helping parents and families to be supportive during this challenging time.

BENEFITS OF INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP THERAPY FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS

I offer individual therapy, as well as group therapy. Groups help your teen or college student connect with others facing similar issues. They get needed social support and validation. In group therapy, young people learn healthy coping strategies. They develop social skills and assertiveness skills. Additionally, they learn ways to seek out support from loved ones. If your child isn’t emotionally ready for a group, individual therapy sessions are a great way to work on needed skills. These sessions help examine problematic thought patterns and behaviors. They can also improve family dynamics.

Let’s Work Together!

 

We all need someone who “gets us” and can listen and help us work towards our goals and dreams. I would love to be that person for your child or adolescent, or for you as a parent!
