The teacher says she's doing great.
The report card is fine. And then it's 8:45 on a Tuesday night and she's crying over a worksheet, erasing until the paper tears. Or your teen is up past midnight refreshing the grade portal, or the Sunday-night stomachache is back and it's never once shown up on a Saturday.
Out here the pressure starts young, and nobody at school sees the cost. You're the only witness. You've been told she's fine, look at her grades. You've been told he just needs to relax. As if relax is a lever you forgot to pull.
Or it's not school at all. It's the goodbye at the car door on exchange days, or the kid who's been different since the thing that happened, or the light that went off in a child who used to fill every room.
If it's big enough to worry you, it's big enough to bring here. Our Redwood City office is fifteen minutes from Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and it's set up for exactly this.

I'm Hannah Ly, LMFT, founder of Your Therapy Nook. I've worked with children since 2012, and a large share of them are Peninsula kids carrying exactly the pressure this page describes.
Before I was a therapist I nannied for Silicon Valley families, and I watched good parents snap at kids they loved. That became the job.
It's not just me anymore. Every child and teen therapist here trained under me and I review every case weekly, so whoever your family is matched with, you're getting someone I'd trust with my own kids. I run every consultation myself, and you can request a specific therapist on the call.
Our Redwood City office sits just off 101, minutes from downtown. Same practice, same approach as San Jose: children and teens only, child-led, with parent coaching built into every case. The room is set up for real play, not a desk your kid has to sit across.
This is all we do here. Children, teens, and the parents trying to reach them.



Concerns we work with here:
Seeing clients at this office: Hannah Ly, LMFT, and our associate therapists.
We see families from Redwood City, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, Mountain View, Woodside, and Portola Valley.

Yes, constantly. The Redwood City office is about 15 minutes from both, and school stress and anxiety in high-achieving Peninsula families is a big part of what we work with here.
Yes, we hold after-school slots at this office. Weekend appointments are at our San Jose office right now, not here. Availability shifts as schedules fill, so ask on the consultation call.
Parking at the building.
Sessions run $200 to $270 depending on the therapist, private pay, with superbills provided.
A free 15-minute call. You tell us what's going on, we tell you honestly whether we're the right fit and which of us makes sense for your family. If we're not, we'll point you toward someone who is.
