Stressed? Overwhelmed? Just not feeling like themselves? Are these things you notice or hear from your teen? You're not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself either.
Life at this stage can be a lot: school, friends, relationships, identity, the future, social media. It’s normal to feel stuck, anxious, or completely drained sometimes. Whether you're going through a big change or just feels off with no clear reason, therapy can help. This isn’t about having something “wrong” with you. Therapy is a space to talk, breathe, and sort through whatever’s on your mind.
You deserve support. You deserve to feel okay. Let’s start there.
Common Life Challenges Among Teens
Being a teen comes with a lot of change that can impact you emotionally, socially, and mentally. It’s a time of growth, but also uncertainty, pressure, and sometimes pain. Whether you’re juggling school, relationships or big life decisions like choosing a college or a career, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed.
Therapy can help you make sense of it all, build healthy coping tools, and help you feel more in control.
Common reasons teens seek therapy include:
Anxiety
Depression
School stress or academic challenges
Family or relationship conflicts
Identity or self-esteem issues
Social anxiety or isolation
Trauma or grief
Self-harm or risky behavior
life transitions and uncertainty
Low self-esteem/self doubt
Perfectionism
Effective Forms of Therapy for Teens
Individual Therapy
In our one-on-one sessions, I’ll create a space that feels safe, supportive, and centered on you. Your story, your pace, and your values. I honor your lived experiences and how your background, identity, and environment may shape what you're going through. Depending on your needs, I may draw from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, or explore past experiences and patterns. My style is flexible and down-to-earth, blending practical tools with space to reflect, process, and grow without pressure or judgment.
Group Therapy
Group therapy can be very effective because it allows teens to see how their peers handle their problems. It can also provide a supportive and validating environment for growth. Most groups have five to seven participants and one leader who will facilitate and guide the conversation.
