Adolescence can be an overwhelming time. Anxiety, emotional changes, academic pressure, trauma, and grief can all impact a teen’s well-being and daily functioning. At Ivy Creek Therapy, teen therapy is led by Victoria Del Bino, who specializes in supporting adolescents through some of life’s most challenging transitions.

Victoria provides a compassionate, collaborative space where teens feel heard and respected. Her approach focuses on building emotional regulation, coping skills, and resilience while supporting teens in navigating peer relationships, school demands, pressures, and life stressors.

Parents are an important part of the therapeutic process. When appropriate, Victoria works with families to improve communication, understanding, and support, while still respecting the teen’s need for autonomy and confidentiality. Building cohesiveness helps ensure the whole family feels understood and connected, even when things get tough. By offering support to both teens and parents, therapy strengthens the bond between family members and promotes a more balanced, harmonious household.

Victoria incorporates evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Sessions emphasize emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness while supporting teens in processing trauma, anxiety, substance use, OCD, and mood-related symptoms.
