Bayreach Counseling Group Call

Therapy for teens and families in St. Petersburg

Sessions for teenagers 13 to 18, and for families who want to talk with someone together. Parents are part of the plan from the first call.

Noelle Okafor and Yesenia Ochoa see teens on their own, with regular check-ins with parents.

We ask parents to let a teen's sessions stay private, and most families agree. Florida law gives parents the right to see a minor's health records. Your teen's clinician explains this, and the other limits, to both of you in the first session.

For families

Malcolm Tredway meets with whole families, or with a parent and one child, when the trouble sits between people more than inside one of them. Family sessions are 50 or 80 minutes.

To start, a parent or guardian calls the intake line. For most teens, a parent or guardian signs the consent forms.

Questions about teens and families

Will you tell me what my teen says?

We ask parents to let a teen's sessions stay private, and most families agree. Florida law gives parents the right to see a minor's health records. Your teen's clinician explains this, and the other limits, to both of you in the first session. Many families agree on regular check-ins where the teen chooses what to share.

Can sessions happen after school?

Yes. The clinicians who see teens have sessions until 8 pm Monday to Thursday and on Saturday mornings.
