Seeking therapist 15 year old daughter suffering from depression
My daughter has been suffering depression and I think this all came on during covid but I can't be sure. She has more social anxiety and doesn't want to take her mask off.
My doctor recommended a CBT therapist. Anyone know of any that specialize in adolescents and accepting new clients. No zoom please. In-person only. I know this is hard to find.
Thank you.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful support group for girls - Love Your Nature, coaching them through adolescence. Emily and Quetzal are so loving and kind, and most importantly skilled in navigating the challenges our young people are facing. My daughter loves going to these in-person groups throughout the year. https://www.loveyournature.com/teen-girls-groups.html
Hi, sending you a hug, this is so hard as a parent! Lots of kids I know are feeling safer mostly masking, including my 13 year old. It is a process to let go of this habit in the times when it is not needed since it was started during a global pandemic. I have searched for therapists a lot online but have not found one yet. But I can recommend the groups, retreats, and 1-on-1 offerings of Quetzal and Emily at Love Your Nature! loveyournature.com My older daughter (now in college) has been part of a girls' group with Emily for about 10 years and it has been a wonderful supportive place to be *her (full) self* even and to talk freely with a wise and loving leader holding the circle. My younger kid is in a monthly tween group with Quetzal and Emily and it has been so key these last three treacherous years for support and community. As a parent it feels so great to know we don't have to do it all---I would say run don't walk and try out the offerings at Love Your Nature. They are in-person!
