Teen Therapy
The teenage years bring real emotional, social, academic and family change. Teens are forming their identities, managing bigger expectations and becoming more independent — and they do not always know how to explain what they are experiencing or ask for help.
Parents may notice
- Increased anxiety, sadness or irritability
- Withdrawing from family or spending more time alone
- Declining grades or loss of motivation
- Academic pressure or perfectionism
- Difficulty making or maintaining friendships
- Relationship or dating concerns
- Low self-esteem or lack of confidence
- Frequent conflict with parents or siblings
- Difficulty communicating feelings
- Changes in sleeping, eating or daily routines
- Trouble adjusting to divorce, loss, relocation or another transition
How teen therapy can help
Our therapists provide a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where teens can talk openly, better understand their emotions and develop healthier ways to manage stress.
- Strengthen coping and emotional-regulation skills
- Improve communication with parents and peers
- Manage anxiety, depression and academic pressure
- Build confidence and self-esteem
- Develop healthier friendships and relationships
- Explore identity and personal values
- Improve motivation and decision-making
- Navigate family conflict and major life changes
Parents may be included when clinically appropriate, while the teen is given room to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
