Teen Therapy

This is a hard time for your kid.

There are a million things at school they’re worried about.

Fitting in.

Starting to date.

Keeping up their grades so they can get into college.

The pressure is enormous, pushing them to seek refuge in their friends and their phones.

Even though they’re not ready to function on their own, they’re acting that way more and more.

Sometimes they act like a young child, and sometimes they act like adults.

It feels like they’re drifting away from you.

You’ve tried to foster a good relationship with them.

You’ve stayed on top of things.

Read the parenting books.

Listened to well-meaning advice.

But nothing seems to work.

They still retreat to their room, avoid the family, and argue with you over the littlest things at the drop of a hat.

You question yourself daily.

They say it gets better… but will it?

Your teen needs to feel understood and supported.

We’re not another parent, but we’re here to give them what they need so they can thrive.

Since we are not their parent, they feel more comfortable talking with us.

We have the knowledge and experience to distinguish typical teen development from something else (something more serious).

We’ll help your teen find their own way forward.

Teaching practical life skills.

  • From time management to decision-making, therapy gives teens tools they can use every day, inside and outside the classroom.

Helping manage academic and social pressures.

  • We look at ways to balance school demands, peer dynamics, and extracurriculars without feeling constantly overwhelmed.

Reducing conflict at home.

  • By improving communication and emotional regulation, therapy often leads to fewer arguments and more understanding between teens and parents.

Providing early intervention.

  • Catching challenges early can prevent them from becoming bigger struggles later on, protecting your teen’s mental health long term.

Encouraging independence and responsibility.

  • Therapy helps teens grow into young adults who are more confident in making choices and taking ownership of their future.

Don’t wait for the problems to right themselves.

That seldom happens. In fact, they usually get worse with time if left unaddressed.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do this alone.
