Support for teens navigating stress, identity, overwhelm, and real-life pressures
Adolescence brings huge emotional, social, and academic shifts. Even the most resilient teens can feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of themselves. You may be noticing changes in mood, motivation, boundaries, friendships, or confidence. Or your teen might be asking for support directly.
Teen therapy offers a space where they can unpack what they’re going through, learn practical tools, and feel understood without pressure or judgment.
The teen years are intense.
