Therapy for teens

The teenage years can be tough: for them and for you.

Adolescence can be a tumultuous time, filled with physical changes, emotional turmoil, and social pressures. Here at our therapy center, we provide specialized therapy services tailored for teenagers. We pride ourselves on providing an understanding, safe, and confidential environment where your teen can openly explore their feelings and thoughts. Being a parent in today's fast-paced, digital world is more complex and challenging than it's ever been. The pressures of balancing work, parenting, and personal life—made even more intricate by the advent of social media, the rapidly changing education system, and cultural shifts—can feel overwhelming. Is it a surprise that you sometimes feel exhausted, anxious, or even lost? Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay to admit that you don't have all the answers. Here's where individual therapy can be a lifeline.

Maybe you’re noticing:

  • Persistent mood changes

  • An abrupt decline in academic performance

  • A disruption of sleep and appetite

  • Behavioral changes including isolation, secrecy, and rule-breaking

  • Drastic changes in relationships

FAQS

Common questions about therapy for parents

  • Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a method used to treat a variety of mental health issues and emotional difficulties. Through this process, a licensed therapist helps your teenager understand their feelings and equip them with the coping skills they need. It can help manage symptoms caused by issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or familial conflicts, and can help improve your teen's overall well-being.

  • Parental involvement varies depending on the teenager's needs and the therapist's recommendations. At the beginning of therapy, an initial meeting with the parent(s) is often scheduled to discuss concerns and goals. Thereafter, the involvement may vary but your support in the process will always be vital for your teenager's progress.

  • It is not uncommon for teenagers to be apprehensive or resistant towards therapy initially. Having open and supportive discussions about their concerns can be helpful. Our therapists also have strategies to engage reluctant adolescents in therapy and work to establish a safe and non-judgmental space where they feel comfortable.
