Teen Therapy

Where did your happy child go?

You know that happy kid – your child at their core.

But your child is no longer willing to sit and talk with you after school about their extracurricular activities.

It’s possible they would prefer you not attend their sporting events.

Their number one goal seems to be rushing home, going to their room, and jumping on their phone to scan social media.

You ask if they are having problems with a peer at school. You inquire about what their friends are planning after high school.

The answers are silence or the famous, “I dunno.”

Young adulthood – college-aged and just past – is a playground of changes.

Your teen just graduated high school and seemed clueless about how to plan for their freshman year at college.

You are beginning to wonder how they chose the school they are going to attend… and if they are going to adjust to the new freedoms that will come with moving away from home.

Selecting a major? It’s as if they have never thought of talking to a guidance counselor.

Or is it more than that? Are there deep problems of which you’re unaware that they won’t talk over with you? Perhaps depression or anxiety, gender identity, repressed anger.

Some issues are ageless…

You may have already had your child tested for neurodiversity – learning challenges – speech impairments. So many things to be aware of as a parent… ADHD, ADD, and all the alphabet soup possibilities.

If there has been a divorce or loss of a pet, parent, or grandparent through death, your child’s heart can be heavy. Often, their first response is to pretend nothing is wrong. Inside, they are torn up over the changes, emotions, and realities they face.

Your teen doesn’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Whatever challenges your child faces, we’re here to support them as they navigate life’s stressors. Our goal is to help teens move toward a future where their problems have less of an impact on their life.

Our approach to teenage therapy is goal-oriented and collaborative. Rather than focusing on problem-solving, we focus on solution-building. This approach keeps teens thinking about their future rather than dwelling on the past.

We use various creative, evidence-based techniques to adapt to your unique child and the specific challenges they’re experiencing.

Everything we work through in therapy supports our mission to empower teens by helping them achieve insights, make discoveries, and create a better way to cope with challenges in their life.

We are excited to support your family and encourage you to choose a therapist that feels right for you.
