Description
Weed. Vaping. Alcohol. Nicotine. Social media. In this day and age, many teens find themselves looking to escape the challenges of being a young adult, but sometimes that escape can lead to dangerous consequences, like substance abuse and addiction.
Deciding to take care of yourself without using substances is a courageous path that requires support and patience. Join Andrea Throndson, LMFT in this group for teens/young adults who are in recovery, as we learn healthy coping skills, connect over common experiences, share stories of strength and hope and practice skills that can help you achieve a life of freedom and balance. As a collective, we will create a safe space designed to help you practice new self-care techniques, nourish your passion and increase your self-love, all with the welcome support of others who understand exactly what you are going through.
The power to change is yours. Join us in this healing journey today!

Jaclyn practices a holistic approach to healing. As Founder & Director of Mindful Child & Family Therapy as well as IFS California, she is a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist & Somatic IFS Therapist. She also practices Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients move past traumatic blocks or the feeling of being stuck in the past.

As a yoga teacher and meditation teacher, Jaclyn brings mindfulness to the core of her mental health services. She walks the journey with clients as they become more self-aware and grow a deeper understanding of different aspects of themselves and their emotional lives. Jaclyn is an encouraging, deeply empathetic therapist who is equally dedicated to neuroscience, mindfulness and the spiritual aspects of mental health.
