The door stays closed.
"I'm fine" is the whole conversation.
Grades are sliding, or they're perfect and it's costing too much. Or they said something last week you haven't stopped thinking about.
You don't need to know what's wrong before you call. Most parents don't.

Same-day and next-day calls available. Or call (408) 461-5935

Most parents can't name it exactly. They just know something changed.
Anxiety that runs the whole house
"I'm fine," and nothing else
Pressure about grades, college, or being perfect
Friends, group chats, or being left out
Living in their phone, or hiding in it
Anger that comes out sideways
A sadness that won't lift
Two homes, and a teen caught in the middle
Something they said that scared you
A move, a loss, or a hard year
If what's happening at your house isn't on this list, bring it anyway.
We talk through what's going on, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether we're a fit.
You meet with your teen's therapist on your own first to go through the whole story. A deposit holds the appointment.
Your teen's first session starts with you in the room so everyone hears the goals. Then their therapist starts getting to know them.
In person, same day and time each week, with the same therapist.
By video, without your teen, after their therapist has checked with them about what to share. You hear what's getting better and what's still hard, and you get coaching on what to try at home. It's a standing session, billed at the regular session rate, and every family has one.
Progress isn't a straight line, especially with teens. Some weeks look harder before they look better. We'll tell you what we're seeing along the way.
We'd rather you know now than find out on the call.

Associate Therapist
Weekly therapy is a real commitment of time and money. We say so up front because it only works when a family can keep coming.
Teens need a room that's theirs. They also need parents who understand what's going on underneath.
Your teen comes weekly: same day, same time, same therapist.
Every four weeks you meet with your teen's therapist for parent coaching, without your teen, at the session rate.
Between sessions you try small things at home. Not homework. Adjustments.
Your teen has a say in what gets shared with you.
If you want your teen fixed without being part of it, we're not the right fit, and we'll say so on the first call.
Fifteen minutes with me, Hannah. You tell me what's happening with your teen. I'll ask a few questions, answer yours, and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. If we're not, I'll try to point you somewhere that is. There's a question about cost on the booking form so nobody is surprised. And if this week turns out calmer by the time we talk, keep the call anyway. The pattern is still worth understanding.
We ask a few questions, explain how we work, and answer yours. No evaluation, no paperwork.
Which therapist fits your teen's age, what's going on, and your schedule. We'll tell you who we think is the right match (usually one of our other therapists, each trained and supervised by Hannah) and why, and you can request anyone.
There's no pressure to decide on the call. If you'd like to move forward, we can book your intake while we're on the phone and take a non-refundable deposit to hold it. The intake is just for parents; your teen doesn't come to that one.
Don't see a time that works? Email hello@yourtherapynook.com with a few times that suit you and we'll make one work. Booking at night or on a weekend? Just pick the first weekday time.
Most teens don't want to sit across from an adult and answer questions. So we don't do that.
Sessions might be talking while drawing, playing a card game, or working through whatever is on their mind that week. Their therapist gets curious about who your teen actually is: what they're into, what's hard, and what they won't say at home.
Before every parent coaching session, your teen's therapist asks them what's okay to share with you.
You'll hear themes: what's getting better, what's still hard, and what you can do at home.
You won't get a transcript of what your teen said.
Safety is the exception. If your teen is at risk, you will know, and your teen gets a say in how you're told.
611 Veterans Blvd, Suite 210, Redwood City, CA 94063
This office serves families from Redwood City, Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto, Woodside, Portola Valley, San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, Hillsborough, Mountain View, and Los Altos. After-school appointments are available in Redwood City.
Most parents ask that. If it's worrying you, it's worth a conversation. The first call is free, and part of it is helping you figure out whether therapy makes sense right now.
That's common. They don't need to be excited. They need to come in. Most teens decide within the first few sessions whether this person is someone they can talk to. If it isn't working, we'll tell you honestly.
Themes, progress, and what you can do at home, after your teen's therapist checks with your teen about what's okay to share. Anything about safety, you'll always hear.
No. We're private pay only, $200 to $270 a session depending on the therapist. We do provide superbills, so if your plan has out-of-network benefits you can submit one for reimbursement.
Yes. Teens often feel caught in the middle of two homes. We don't do custody evaluations or write letters for court. We're your teen's therapist, and that's the whole role. If there's an active court case, we'll talk on the first call about whether we're the right fit.
Teen sessions are in person only. Parent coaching is by video.
