Your Teen is Not Alone. Adolescent Counseling is Available.
Our counselors are trained in therapeutic approaches such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, which are proven to be helpful in working with adolescents.
While therapy will primarily take place between your teen and his/her/their counselor, parents and other family members may be involved in the counseling process.
Find a counselor to be a companion on the complex journey of growth and self-discovery for your teen.
Teens may benefit from mental health counseling for a variety of reasons, including:
- Coping with stress and anxiety: Counseling can help teens identify sources of stress and develop strategies to process and overcome stressors.
- Improving relationships: Teens may gain tools for addressing challenges in relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners.
- Addressing emotional or behavioral issues: Teens who struggle with emotional regulation, impulsiveness, or other behavioral problems can learn effective strategies for managing these difficulties.
- Dealing with traumatic experiences: Counseling can help teens who have experienced trauma, abuse, or loss process their experiences and move forward in a healthy way.
- Supporting identity development: The adolescent years can be a time of intense identity exploration and self-discovery, and counseling can provide a safe space for teens to explore their thoughts and feelings.
- Improving academic performance: Mental health issues can interfere with academic performance, and counseling can help teens address these challenges and achieve their full potential.
