Tween and Teen Therapy Is Different

Finding the right therapist for your teenager is a big decision, and we’re here to make the process easier. When you call us, we’ll take the time to learn about your teen’s needs and pair them with one of our therapists who specializes in teenage counseling. Several of our team members work exclusively with teens, which means they understand how to connect with this age group on a meaningful level.

Our therapists work to build relationships in which teens feel heard, understood, respected and empowered. They also meet regularly with parents and caregivers to provide updates and welcome feedback. Open communication and collaboration with families are central to our therapeutic process.

Our teen therapy uses the latest and most effective therapeutic techniques, rooted in proven psychological science, to help your child. However, we know that teens don’t always share their thoughts and feelings openly, especially with adults they’ve just met. That’s why our therapists supplement proven, evidence-based therapeutic techniques with creative strategies to connect and build trust with teens.

We meet teens where they are by incorporating activities and interests that resonate with them. This might mean using:

• Art and music for bonding and creative self-expression
• Social media and memes to explore thoughts and emotions in approachable ways
• Interactive conversations that focus on their passions and hobbies

Whether your teen is talkative or reserved, our therapists know how to engage with them in ways that feel natural and comfortable. We “speak their language” to build a foundation of trust that leads to meaningful progress.
