Now Scheduling Appointments Starting in March 2026
Is your home a battlefield of slammed doors and tense silences? Are you watching your teenager struggle with anxiety, mood swings, or withdrawal, feeling hopeless and exhausted? You're not alone, and you don't have to choose between your teen's wellbeing and your own.
Raising a teenager in today’s world is complex, and so is the solution. At Mind-Body Psychiatric Services, we offer a comprehensive approach that stops the "referral merry-go-round." Here, your teen’s mental health is supported by medical expertise, clinical counseling, and creative movement, all in one place.
Parents and teens often come to us when they are "stuck." We get you moving again by addressing four vital areas:
Clinical Psychiatry & Med Management: If your teen is struggling with chemical imbalances, severe anxiety, or depression, Olena provides expert psychiatric evaluation and medication management to create a stable foundation for growth.
Individual Therapy for Teens: Using her background as an LPC, Olena provides a safe, non-judgmental space for teens to explore their inner world. This is where they learn to navigate the pressures of school, social dynamics, and self-identity. Rather than just offering advice, Olena helps them develop their own "toolkit" for emotional resilience.
Individual Therapy for Parents: Parenting a struggling teen can leave you anxious, exhausted, and doubting yourself. Olena works with parents individually to process your own stress, strengthen your confidence, and develop strategies that actually work for your family.
Creative Movement Therapy: Sometimes, words aren't enough. For teens who "shut down" in traditional talk therapy, movement therapy allows them to express frustration, build confidence, and regulate their nervous systems without the pressure of a face-to-face interrogation.
Note: We see teens (ages 13+) and parents individually, but do not offer family therapy sessions. This allows each person their own confidential space while providing the benefit of coordinated care.
In most cases, a teen has a psychiatrist they see for 15 minutes and a therapist they see for an hour. These two providers rarely talk to each other.
We offer:
Cohesive Care: Medication adjustments are informed by what’s happening in therapy sessions.
Reduced Stress: One provider, one office, one relationship to build.
Body-Positive Healing: We address the physical symptoms of stress - like the "tight chest" or "constant fatigue" - that teens often experience but can't explain.
Teen Anxiety & Depression: Finding the balance between clinical support and emotional resilience.
Parent Mental Health: Individual therapy for parents navigating their own anxiety, trauma, or the stress of raising a teen.
Body Image & Self-Esteem: Using movement to help teens feel "at home" in their own skin.
Life Transitions: Support for divorce, moving, or the high-pressure shift to college.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether your teen needs a medical consultation, a place to process their emotions, or a way to move through their stress, Olena provides a grounded, expert path forward.
We offer telehealth services throughout the state of PA, and in-person sessions in Elkins Park and Fort Washington.
