Teen Therapy
Adolescence can be challenging. Our Teen Therapy offers a compassionate space for teens to express themselves, build resilience, and navigate transitions.
Common Concerns:
- Academic pressure and performance anxiety
- Peer relationships and social challenges
- Identity, self-esteem, and body image concerns
- Family conflict or communication barriers
- Anxiety, mood fluctuations, or behavioral changes
We use:
- CBT and Mindfulness: Tools for emotional regulation and stress reduction
- Creative modalities: Art, writing, or other expressive exercises to foster self-awareness
- Family collaboration: Engaging parents or guardians when relevant and with the teen’s consent
What to Expect:
- A comfortable, judgment-free initial session
- Interactive, teen-centered therapy sessions
- Periodic check-ins with parents (if appropriate and agreed upon)
FAQs
Q: Do parents attend teen therapy sessions?
A: Teens usually meet individually with their therapist, but we may check in with parents periodically—with the teen’s consent—when family involvement supports progress.
Q: How do I know if my teen needs therapy?
A: Warning signs may include withdrawal, mood changes, academic struggles, irritability, or difficulty managing stress. If you’re concerned, a consultation can help.
Q: Is what my teen shares confidential?
A: Yes, sessions are private. We encourage open communication, but we only share with parents if safety is at risk.
Q: Will therapy make my teen feel “labeled”?
A: No. Therapy is a supportive space for growth, not a judgment. Many teens find it empowering to have someone who listens and understands.
