Mahesh Balan

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and their families, providing a safe and supportive environment to uncover and address the root causes of their challenges. With over 30 years of experience as a Juvenile Probation Officer, High School Dean of Students, School Adjustment Counselor, and now as a Therapist, I bring a wealth of expertise to help you navigate these difficulties. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, or are a parent seeking guidance to support your child, I’m here to help you develop effective coping strategies and regain control over your life.

My approach is collaborative. I work alongside you to identify and address the underlying issues causing stress, anger, depression, or any other challenges. Together, we’ll set goals to move you away from pain and toward a life that feels supported and within your control. Growing up today is challenging not only for teenagers but also for their families.

My goal is to help my clients feel that they are in a safe place to discuss whatever it is they are struggling with and to work as partners in identifying the appropriate coping strategies, interventions and solutions to address the problems they are facing.
