Building healthy relationships + making good friends when you're a teenager can be confusing when you don't fit in and have no friends. As a mental health therapist, I work with a lot of teenagers who feel alone and like no one gets them. The biggest myth I hear is "you'll find your people when you get to college." But you don't have to wait that long- you can start building healthy relationships while you're still in high school. Here's how you can build healthy relationships when you don't fit in and have no friends in 5 easy steps.

// ABOUT
Hi- I’m Mallory and my pronouns are (she/hers). I'm a Teen Therapist with a counseling practice based in Woodbridge, CT. This channel is dedicated to helping YOU improve your mental health!

The rates of teens struggling with suicide and self harm are rising and I want to reverse that trend! That’s why on this channel you’ll find I share a lot about coping with anxiety, depression, alternatives to self harm and how to talk to parents and other grown-ups about these challenges.

My biggest hope is to increase mental health awareness and break the stigma of talking to a therapist so teens can get the help they deserve and need right here, right now.
