Have you been wondering how to help your teens deal with anxiety, depression, or even ADHD in a more natural way? This is exactly what Rachel and Keri dive into on this episode!

Today's guest, Keri Cooper, LCSW, is the owner of Keri Cooper Holistic Therapy in northern New Jersey. In her private practice, she counsels teens and works to give them the tools they need to navigate life. Keri takes a holistic approach to therapy, looking at the whole person, not just their symptoms. Keri is the author of Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs To Know, a book designed to give parents steps on how to improve their child’s mental health. Her second book is a workbook for teens, Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Teen Needs To Know. She is a speaker and writer who helps educate teens and parents on the topics teens face in everyday life. She is a graduate of the University Of Pennsylvania and continues to further her education by obtaining additional certifications in her field, one of her favorite pastimes! When Keri isn't busy working with teens, she is busy with her own four children and her flock of chickens.
