Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Skills for the loops — anxious thinking, perfectionism, the spirals that run a teen's week.
Care for adolescents
Teen Therapy
Teenage years are stormy by design — and today's teens carry more than they used to. We make space for them to do the actual work of being heard.
A place teens can show up as themselves
Stormy moods, changing roles, the push for independence — adolescence is challenging by design. On top of that, today's teens face social-media pressure, academic demands, and the lingering aftermath of disrupted social and school lives. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide among adolescents have risen in recent years. Just when teens need support most, they often withdraw, leaving them isolated and parents feeling helpless.
It matters that teens feel involved in their own therapy and have a say in the plan. Some resist at first. Most find, after a few sessions, that having one adult who's just for them — separate from family, separate from school — changes things.

How we work
How we work with teens
Insight & Talk Therapy
Sometimes the work is just having a room where it's safe to think out loud. We make that room.
Mindfulness & Self-regulation
Practical tools — breath, attention, body awareness — for moments when emotion is faster than thought.
Skills Coaching
Communication, boundaries, conflict — concrete moves for the situations actually showing up in their day.
Family Sessions When Helpful
Occasional, intentional sessions with parents in the room — only when it serves the teen's goals.
What to expect
What therapy with teens looks like
1
First session — teen + parent
Everyone in the room. We talk about what brought you in and, importantly, what your teen wants out of this — not what you want for them.
2
Teen-led sessions
The work belongs to your teen. We explain the confidentiality framework up front — what stays between us, and what we have to share with you.
3
Parent check-ins as needed
Looped in without breaking the trust that's doing the real work. Frequency is set by what the situation actually needs.
Many of our teen clients return as adults
A positive therapy relationship at this age lays a foundation that lasts. The teens we work with often come back years later — not because something's wrong, but because they know how to use the work.
