Teen years can be overwhelming, as young people deal with issues like academic pressures, social dynamics, family relationships, and identity exploration. Therapy for teens can provide a safe space to talk through these challenges. Our therapists work with teens to:

• Build self-confidence and emotional regulation

• Address anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns

• Improve communication and conflict resolution skills with family and peers

• Navigate social media and the pressures of the digital age

• Explore identity, sexuality, and personal values in a supportive environment

Our approach is teen-friendly, combining evidence-based techniques with a non-judgmental and relatable approach, ensuring that teens feel heard and empowered.

Preteens (ages 9-12) face a unique set of challenges as they transition from childhood to adolescence. This is a time of emotional and cognitive development, often marked by increased independence, peer influences, and the beginning of more complex emotional experiences. Preteen therapy focuses on:

• Helping preteens manage emotional regulation and develop coping mechanisms

• Addressing social anxieties, bullying, and friendship dynamics

• Building self-esteem and resilience to deal with school and home pressures

• Navigating changes in family structure, sibling relationships, or transitions like moving schools

• Offering age-appropriate strategies for expressing feelings and problem-solving

• We create a warm and engaging environment where preteens can express themselves openly, using activities like play therapy, art, and discussion to foster communication and emotional growth.

We believe in providing therapy that is not only effective but also accessible and relatable for both teens and preteens. Here’s how we stand out:

• Individualized Care: Every teen and preteen is different. We tailor therapy to each child's needs, strengths, and personality using various approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and play-based techniques.

• Supportive Family Involvement: We work closely with families to ensure that the support at home aligns with therapy goals, offering guidance on how to create a positive home environment.

Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, navigating friendships, or just needs a safe space to talk, we are here to help. We’re committed to creating a supportive, empathetic, and collaborative space for your child’s growth.
