Helping Your Teen Navigate Life
Parenting a teenager isn’t easy. You want the best for your child—you want them to feel confident, capable, and happy. But lately, you’ve noticed your teen is struggling. Maybe they seem more anxious, withdrawn, or irritable. Maybe they’re pulling away from you, shutting down when you try to connect, or their grades and motivation are slipping. Perhaps you’re worried about depression, self-esteem, friendships, or the impact of social media.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re here to support both you and your teen.
Why Teens Struggle
Adolescence is a critical stage of development. Your child is figuring out who they are, how to manage emotions, and how to cope with pressures from school, peers, and the world around them. This is also when mental health challenges often first show up. Without support, these struggles can feel overwhelming—for your teen and for you as a parent.
We understand how painful it is to see your child hurting and not know how to help. That’s where therapy comes in. Together, we can give your teen tools to manage emotions, strengthen resilience, and build healthier relationships.
How We Help
When your teen comes to therapy with us, they’ll find a safe, judgment-free space where they can open up and be themselves. We help adolescents:
Reduce anxiety and depression by learning coping strategies that actually work
Improve communication so they can talk about what’s going on instead of shutting down
Build self-esteem and a stronger sense of identity
Navigate friendships and social pressures in healthier ways
Work through trauma or painful experiences with compassion and care
Strengthen family relationships so home feels more connected and supportive
And because we know that therapy doesn’t just affect your teen—it affects the whole family—we keep you involved in the process. You’ll have space to share your perspective, learn how to support your child, and get guidance for navigating challenges at home.
What Therapy Looks Like
We offer flexible options to meet your family’s needs:
Individual sessions for your teen (45–50 minutes)
Family sessions to strengthen communication and connection
Ongoing parent support, so you’re never left out of the process
Every treatment plan is personalized, because no two teens are alike.

Your Questions Answered
How do I know if my teen needs therapy?
If you’ve noticed lasting changes in your teen’s mood, behavior, or motivation—or if your gut is telling you something isn’t right—therapy may help. Common signs include increased irritability, withdrawal from family or friends, slipping grades, loss of interest in things they used to enjoy, sleep or appetite changes, or talk of hopelessness.
Will I be involved in my teen’s therapy?
Yes. While your teen’s therapy sessions are their private space, we include parents in the process. We’ll check in regularly with you, provide guidance for supporting your child at home, and may recommend family sessions when helpful.
What if my teen doesn’t want to come?
This is very common. Teens may be nervous, unsure, or even resistant to the idea of therapy. We’re experienced in meeting them where they are, building trust, and showing them that therapy is a safe place just for them. Sometimes, just attending the first session can ease their fears.
How long will therapy take?
Every teen is different. Some begin to notice changes in a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll discuss progress openly and adjust as needed to make sure therapy feels meaningful and effective.
