We specialize in therapy for teens and offer services that help teens to thrive. You and your teen do not have to be out to sea without an anchor.

What is therapy for teens like?
Being a teen is beyond difficult. Navigating relationships, coming out journeys, getting good grades, and staying focused when the pressure is on, is so hard! Rooted Acorn Counseling therapist, Sharon, previously worked as a school-based therapist, and gets what teens today are going through. Together in therapy we will help your teen find their way through the maze of adolescence. We will explore those things that are important to your teen, which are often those things that usually get lost in the noise of school, sports, conflicts, you name it! For parents of teens, Sharon works collaboratively with you to support your teen.
What ages is teen therapy for?
Sharon works with older teens, ages 15 years and older, focusing on topics that come up during high school and preparation for what comes next after graduation.
Our teen therapist
Meet Sharon F. Hester, our teen therapist at Rooted Acorn Counseling!
Sharon works with teens, parents of adult and teen LGBTQ+ children, and adults on their various journeys with gender and sexuality. With such journeys, unwelcome travel companions often are anxiety, grief and unexpected stress. Together, we will talk more deeply about the life you want for yourself/your teen wants, and map how small step by small step you or your teen can begin to move forward again.
