About me

Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of counseling experience working in schools, non profits, private practice and hospitals. I have been formally trained in a variety of therapy methods including Trauma Focused therapy, Child Centered Play Therapy, Attachment based therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I have spent my career working primarily with children, adolescents and their families and have a passion in working with concerns related to family and parenting issues, attachment issues, trauma, relationship issues, depression and anxiety. I also have experience working with teens in crisis.
My counseling style is warm and welcoming. I believe in treating you and your child with respect, understanding and creating a non-judgmental space. Teenagers can be difficult to get to open up and I believe in spending time in making your child feel comfortable and that the therapy is about them and worthwhile. I will tailor our time together to meet you and your child's specific needs and goals. Thank you for your considering me to be a part of the journey to a happier and fuller life for your child and your family. Please let me know how I may be able to help.

Piper Schouten is a therapist for my teenage son. She is extremely caring, perceptive, and has been a great help for my son in navigating some difficult times in his teenage life.

I am extremely fortunate to have been matched to Piper through teen counseling.
I was sure I would have to go through several therapists to find one that really fit me, but I am so thrilled, that i was matched to her the first time and she is a perfect fit!! Her voice is calm, and is very soothing, sensitive and understanding and has a level of compassion that makes talking with her effortless.
I would highly recommend her, and I cant wait to speak with her each week.
Thank you teen counseling and thank you Piper

She has been so kind and supportive and helps me feel less alone. I've been to therapy before but I've never looked forward to sessions before. No judgment and valid advise, I truly appreciate her help!

Piper is a genuine, empathetic human— who isn’t afraid to contemplate or counter your beliefs in a light that truly has your best interest in mind.
