Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or misunderstood? You’re not alone.

If you’re struggling right now…

💛You’re not weird.

💛You’re not too young.

Life can be intense: new schools, exams, friendships, social media, family expectations, and sometimes living between cultures. It’s a lot. And it can leave you feeling: depressed, stressed out and overwhelmed

I am SO tired of watching teens and young adults struggle and feeling stuck in toxic friendships, overwhelming emotions, and low self-esteem.

Aren’t you? You deserve better. 

Working with a Mental Health Therapist can help you control your feelings and heal past hurtful, painful experiences.

Relaxed Parent with Happy Teen

If you’re a parent…

Remember how awkward, overwhelming and stressful the teen and early adult years can be?

Teens and young adults today want to feel unapologetically happy, secure in their relationships, and confident in themselves – like those other kids. You know – the ones who are always comfortable in any social situation.

Teens and young adults today want good friends – the kind you know you can rely on.

But how can you know who you can trust in an age of screenshots, selfies, and social media filters?

Supporting your teen, supporting you.

When teens learn to understand and express their emotions,

your bond with them grows More Open, Calmer, Trusting, and Resilient.

Allow me to introduce myself

Hi I’m Dr. Slava Guergova! I am a clinical psychologist and mental health therapist dedicated to helping teens develop their emotional intelligence so they can build confidence, break free from unhealthy patterns, and form authentic, lasting relationships.

For teens, this means guiding their development in a safe, supportive way. FOR PARENTS, this means understanding, supporting, and nurturing growth—so families can thrive together.

I help teens and young adults break through:

😖 Anxiety + Panic Attacks        😭 Depressed + Lonely Feelings       🤬 Anger + Irritability

If you notice your teen is:

Withdrawn, irritable, or exhausted

→ Struggling at school or losing motivation

→ Having trouble concentrating or sleeping

Worrying excessively or showing low self-esteem

→ Expressing hopelessness or self-critical thoughts

 …they may need extra support.
