Therapy for Teens: Our Approach
Watching your teen struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelming emotions can be heartbreaking. You want to help, but sometimes, they shut you out or don’t know how to express what they’re feeling. That’s where therapy comes in. We create a safe, nonjudgmental space where teens can open up, process their emotions, and develop healthy coping skills. Our approach is warm, relatable, and tailored to their unique needs—helping them build confidence, manage stress, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll support your teen in feeling more secure, empowered, and understood. You don’t have to do this alone—we are here to help.
Getting started and finding the right therapist…
Finding the right therapist for your teen is important—you want someone they feel comfortable with, who truly understands their struggles, and who can help them grow. Therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about building trust, learning real-life coping skills, and feeling heard without judgment. Our teen therapists take a down-to-earth, approachable style that helps teens feel safe opening up while providing the tools they need to manage anxiety, stress, and self-doubt. Every teen is different, which is why we tailor therapy to their unique personality and needs. If your teen has been struggling, let’s find a way forward together.

For Parents: How Teen Counseling Can Help Your Child
We all know the teen years are challenging not only for the teen but also for the parent. It’s a time that is filled with so much change, growth and uncertainty. It can be scary to watch your child grow into a a new version of themselves that may feel foreign to you. That’s where we come in. Teen therapy provides a safe space for your child to openly discuss their feelings with a professional, gaining tools to better manage stress and emotional turmoil. We collaborate with parents to ensure you’re informed and supported throughout the process, while also respecting your teen’s need for confidentiality. Together, we’ll help your teen build resilience and navigate adolescence with confidence.
Whether your child is struggling with a learning disability, the beginning stages of an eating disorder, school- related mental health issues, ADHD difficulties, an anxiety disorder, substance abuse, an autism spectrum disorder, depression or emotional regulation we are here to help.

Questions about Insurance?
Using out of network benefits to help cover the cost of therapy can be complicated, frustrating and honestly quite discouraging-but it doesn’t have to be. To make the process seamless, we use Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on therapy—without the hassle of filing claims themselves.
