Adolescent Therapy
Adolescent therapy provides specialized support for teenagers navigating the complex challenges of adolescence. Our therapists understand the unique developmental needs of this age group and create a safe, non-judgmental environment where teens can express themselves. We address issues such as identity formation, peer relationships, academic stress, family conflicts, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Therapy empowers adolescents with coping skills and resilience for their journey to adulthood.
FAQ

Will parents be involved in the therapy?
The level of parent involvement varies based on the teen's age, needs, and preferences. Generally, we meet with parents initially and periodically to discuss progress while maintaining the teen's confidentiality. Family sessions can be arranged when beneficial.
