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.
Every teen’s experience is different, but many seek support for:
Anxiety, stress, or constant overthinking
Depression, low mood, or burnout
Social anxiety or difficulty forming and maintaining friendships
School pressure and academic expectations
Identity exploration and self-esteem challenges
Emotional sensitivity or difficulty regulating moods
Family stress or communication issues
Trauma or difficult past experiences
Grief, loss, or major life transitions
Social media comparison and digital overwhelm

For teens who have experienced something painful or destabilizing, we offer trauma-informed care that builds safety, resilience, and empowerment through a variety of modalities, including TF-CBT and EMDR. Therapy is always paced around the teen’s comfort level, not rushed or forced.
Through mindfulness, we learn and implement grounding tools that help with emotional regulation, presence, and managing overwhelming thoughts.
Our Solution Focused Therapists help teens in identifying strengths, setting realistic goals, and making meaningful changes step by step.
Depending on the teen’s personality and needs, therapy might involve:
The goal is to help your teen feel comfortable enough to explore their thoughts, learn new skills, and build trust with their therapist.
