Therapy for adolescents
Growing up isn’t easy and can bring up a lot of different feelings. We can navigate them together.
How Therapy Can Help
Being a teenager isn’t easy. Your teen might feel like they’re under pressure, stuck in their head, or like no one really gets what they’re going through. Therapy gives your teen a private space to talk things out—whether they are feeling anxious, stressed, confused, or just want to understand themselves better. It’s a place where they can be honest without judgment, learn how to handle tough emotions, and build skills that help them feel more in control of their life.
Adolescence can be a challenging time—for both teens and their parents.
As your teen works to figure out who they are and where they belong, it’s not uncommon to see shifts in mood, motivation, or behavior. You might notice your teen becoming more withdrawn, irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed. They may struggle with friendships, academic pressure, identity questions, or intense emotions that feel hard to manage.
These changes can be confusing or concerning, and it’s natural to wonder what’s typical and what might need more support. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space where your teen can talk openly, explore what they’re feeling, and develop healthy ways to cope. With the support of a therapist, many teens begin to feel more confident, regulated, and connected—both to themselves and the people around them.
Being a teenager in today’s day and age can be extremely difficult.
Whether you want your teen to develop more self awareness, or take control of their lives in a healthy and positive way, therapy can help. To learn more about how you can help your teen feel successful and empowered, reach out to get started.
