Teen Counseling
Helping Teens Find Confidence in a Fast‑Changing World
Life moves fast when you are a teen. School, friends, family, phones, all at once. We give teens a safe space to slow down, speak up, and feel in control.
Why Teens Come to Therapy
- Feeling worried or stressed most days, even when nothing “big” seems wrong
- Trouble sleeping, focusing, or finding motivation for schoolwork
- Feeling stuck on endless social‑media comparisons
- Sudden life changes—new school, family move, break‑up, parent divorce
- Struggles with identity, self‑esteem, or fitting in
- Household conflict that makes home feel unsafe or tense
- Wanting more confidence, authentic friendships, and balance between online and offline life

FAQ for Parents
How long is a session?
50 minutes; many like weekly meetings to build momentum.
Do you prescribe medication?
We do not prescribe but can coordinate with trusted pediatricians or psychiatrists if meds could help.
Is everything kept private?
Yes. We share safety concerns only if someone is at risk of harm. Teens can choose what we recap to
parents.
How soon will we see change?
Small wins, better sleep, fewer arguments, often appear quickly after beginning, though change and progress
is always at the pace of the client.
Can parents join sessions?
Yes. We schedule caregiver sessions to align goals and practice skills at home.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Absolutely—HIPAA‑secure video, after‑school or lunchtime slots available.
