Your teenager isn’t acting like themselves.
You remember when they would talk to you about everything, but now you barely receive a grunt.
Their monotone one-word answers are an exercise in patience.
They’re irritable and withdrawn as every attempt to talk with them is met with a sigh and an eye roll.
They frequently tell you that you don’t understand when you attempt to connect.
You’re losing them to an obsession with their phone that doesn’t seem healthy.
For some teens it shows up as anxiety or panic before tests; for others as anger at home, slipping grades, ADHD that has outgrown the old routines, or a sadness that will not lift.
They don’t enjoy the things they used to do.
Your teenager spends more time in their room than being with the family.
Recently, you’ve heard them declining invites to hang out with their friends.
They seem tired all the time.
Maybe their grades are slipping and homework has become a nightly fight.
It’s time to ask for help from teen therapists and teen psychologists who work with teens every week, in person at our North Bethesda office next to Pike & Rose. After a short call with you, we match your teen with the therapist who fits, male or female.
Feel that you can talk to your teen again.
Your teen will learn to handle big feelings without blowing up or shutting down, and to hear a point of view that isn’t theirs without a fight.
We work from your teen’s point of view, so they start to see how their behavior and mood shape the way they experience the world.
Your teen will develop skills that allow them to express themselves successfully and ask for what they need.
You will feel empowered to have conversations with your teen by learning the best ways to approach them and how to support them when they start sharing or appear to shut down. You are part of the plan from the first session.
See your teen come alive.
We provide your teen with a unique experience in therapy that is created for their goals and personality to help them develop their beliefs and values to move forward.
Our support of your teen is developed through an actual relationship with them.
We will tackle the specific things that cause your teen stress – walking the halls at school confidently, taking tests without panicking, the Sunday-night dread and stomachaches before school, and the ADHD that has outgrown the old homework routines and turned every evening into a fight.
Your teen will learn how to get ahead of the negative self-talk they experience, not just learn to battle it daily.
One of the strongest supporting tools your teen will learn is how to develop ‘thought challenges’ to get to and stay in a happier place when anxiety appears.
Don’t let your teenager suffer in silence.
This is a crucial moment in their lives, and it can be hard to tell what’s happening with them as their parent.

Teen Therapy FAQ
What does getting started with teen therapy look like?
Your teen’s first appointment is a 60-minute intake in our North Bethesda office with a teen therapist or a teen psychologist. We go over your concerns, speak with your teen, and build a plan we all agree on. You are part of that plan from the start, and your teen then meets with the same therapist each week. You might have homework to help you and your teen put what we discussed into practice.
What if I don’t know which service my teen needs?
No problem. It’s likely we won’t know what sort of therapy your teen will benefit from most until we get started working with them. We use an integrative approach that lets us pull the right tools from our toolbox (different evidence-based approaches to therapy) as we go.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
Yes. Teen therapy is in person at our office at 6010 Executive Blvd, Suite 503, North Bethesda, next to Pike & Rose, with free parking in front.
How soon can my teen be seen?
Same-week appointments are usually available, including evenings and limited Saturdays. We answer inquiries 7 days a week.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. What your teen shares with their therapist is confidential, and the therapist will explain at the first appointment how parents are kept in the loop. We do not discuss your teen’s care with anyone without written permission, apart from the narrow situations where the law requires it.
Do you accept insurance?
We are “out of network” providers, which means we do not directly take insurance. We collect payment at the time of service and provide you with a statement of services that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many of our clients have a substantial portion of their services reimbursed, and most use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Please contact your insurer for details on reimbursement procedures and the types of services covered. The codes we use are 90791 for intake appointments and 90837 or 90847 for follow-up appointments.
What are your fees?
Our appointments range between $180 and $260 per 55-minute session. There is a one-time intake fee of $60. Please contact the office at hello@tenderheartscounseling.com for more information on fees and services.
