Adolescent Therapy
A Safe Space for Teens to Be Heard
Adolescence is a time of rapid change, intense emotions, and growing independence. Adolescent individual therapy provides teens with a supportive, confidential space to explore what they’re experiencing and develop skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
How Adolescent Therapy Can Help
Therapy can support adolescents with concerns such as:
- Anxiety, stress, or school-related pressure
- Depression or mood changes
- Low self-esteem or identity exploration
- Social challenges, friendships, or peer conflict
- Family tension or communication difficulties
- Emotional regulation and coping skills
- Life transitions or major changes
Teens often carry more than they show. Therapy offers a place where they don’t have to minimize or mask what they’re feeling.
Our Approach with Teens
We meet adolescents where they are, respecting their voice, autonomy, and individuality. Sessions are engaging, age-appropriate, and grounded in trust. The goal is not to “fix” teens, but to help them better understand themselves, build emotional awareness, and strengthen coping skills they can carry into adulthood.
Parental involvement is handled thoughtfully, balancing transparency with the adolescent’s need for privacy and trust.
What Teens Can Expect
- A calm, nonjudgmental space
- One-on-one support tailored to their needs
- Tools for managing emotions, stress, and relationships
- Encouragement without pressure
Support for Parents
Parents are an important part of the process. We provide guidance and collaboration as appropriate, helping families better understand and support their teen while honoring therapeutic boundaries.
Is Adolescent Individual Therapy a Good Fit?
If your teen is struggling emotionally, socially, or behaviorally, or simply needs a space of their own to talk things through, adolescent therapy can be a powerful source of support and growth.
