Therapy for Teens
Understanding teen mental health
Navigating the teenage years can be challenging, filled with emotional ups and downs, peer pressure, academic stress, and family dynamics. Research suggests that up to 40% of teens in the US experience anxiety - a significant increase from previous years due to the effects of Covid and lockdown.
Therapy provides a safe space for teens to explore their feelings, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience. At this crucial stage of life, professional support can make a significant difference in helping teens manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other common issues, empowering them to thrive.
Common issues in teen therapy
Teen therapy addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, school-related stress, social challenges, family conflicts, and more. For many teens, these issues can feel overwhelming and isolating, affecting their self-esteem, academic performance, and relationships.
Through therapy, teens learn to understand their emotions, identify triggers, and develop effective strategies for managing stress and overcoming challenges.
How therapy can help teens
We focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where teens feel comfortable expressing themselves. By building a trusting relationship, we encourage teens to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, fostering personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
We’ll work with them to develop a plan of action to treat their symptoms. Then we’ll use CBT, EMDR and other techniques to help them manage, then reduce their symptoms. We can use exposure therapy to help them with social anxiety and set homework to build up their confidence.
