Teen Therapy

The teenage years are a time of tremendous growth, change, and challenge. Our teen therapy program provides adolescents with a safe, confidential space to process their emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience. Adolescence is not simply a phase to get through. It is a formative period that shapes who your teen will become, and the support they receive now can make a profound difference.

Today's teens face an unprecedented combination of stressors: academic pressure, social media comparison, identity exploration, peer relationships, and family dynamics. These challenges can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, withdrawal, academic difficulties, or conflict within the family. If you have noticed changes in your teen's mood, behavior, or functioning, teen therapy can help.

Our approach is collaborative and strengths-based. We meet teens where they are, using age-appropriate techniques including CBT, DBT skills, creative expression, and mindfulness exercises. Teens are not small adults. They have unique developmental needs and communication styles, and our therapists are specifically trained to connect with adolescents in an authentic, nonjudgmental way.

Building trust is the foundation of effective teen therapy. Our therapists show up with curiosity and respect, not lectures. We also work closely with parents, navigating the balance between teen confidentiality and keeping families informed. Clear agreements are established at the start of treatment, and parent guidance sessions are available to support the family system as a whole.
