Individual Therapy

Adina provides individual therapy for teens and young adults across a wide range of clinical needs and life experiences. She draws from multiple evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC), Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Her approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and developmentally attuned. Adina prioritizes building authentic, trusting relationships with her clients, blending warmth and humor with practical, skill-based interventions. She partners with teens and young adults to better understand their emotions, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen communication skills, and build confidence in who they are becoming.

Parent Coaching

Adina is trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) through the Yale Child Study Center. SPACE is an evidence-based, parent-based treatment that helps reduce childhood, adolescent, and young adulthood anxiety by empowering caregivers with practical, structured tools.

Rather than requiring the child to attend sessions, SPACE works directly with parents to shift patterns at home that may unintentionally reinforce anxiety.

Through SPACE, parents learn to:

  • Identify anxiety-driven accommodations in the home

  • Reduce reassurance cycles and avoidance patterns

  • Respond to anxiety with calm, confident communication

  • Set supportive, consistent boundaries

  • Increase their child’s independence and resilience

  • Strengthen the parent-child relationship during difficult moments

SPACE is especially helpful when:

  • A child refuses or resists therapy

  • Anxiety is interfering with school, sleep, or social functioning

  • Family routines revolve around preventing anxiety triggers

  • Parents feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to help

By focusing on small, meaningful shifts in parental response, SPACE helps children grow braver — while parents feel more confident and supported in the process.
