THERAPY FOR TEENS
Navigate Life’s Challenges with Confidence and Compassion.
Teen Therapy in Los Angeles
Adolescence is a time of rapid change—emotionally, physically, and socially. It's also a stage when many mental health challenges first emerge. Our therapists are trained to support teens through a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety & Stress
Academic pressure, performance expectations, and social comparison can leave teens feeling constantly on edge. Therapy can help your teen learn to manage stress, build resilience, and feel more in control.
Depression & Low Self-Esteem
If your teen is withdrawing, feeling hopeless, or expressing a lack of motivation, they may be struggling with depression. We help teens find their voice and reconnect with what gives them meaning and joy.
Social Media & Screen Time Challenges
From comparison spirals to online bullying, social media can deeply impact a teen's mental health. We work with teens to build awareness and healthier boundaries around technology.
Identity, Gender & Sexuality Exploration
Teen years are often a time of discovering who you are. We provide an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ teens to explore identity, navigate coming out, and feel seen and supported.
Peer Pressure, Friendships & Relationships
Teen relationships are a big deal. We help teens navigate conflicts, boundary-setting, peer pressure, and how to cultivate healthy friendships and romantic relationships.
Family Conflict
Sometimes it’s hard to talk with family—especially during the teen years. Therapy can be a safe bridge, helping teens and parents understand one another and rebuild connection.
Grief, Trauma & Life Transitions
Loss, divorce, moving, and other changes can hit teens hard. We support teens in processing these experiences and finding ways to heal.
Our Approach to Teen Therapy
We meet teens where they are—with curiosity, empathy, and zero judgment. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness and Stress Management Techniques
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies
Family Therapy (when appropriate)
Each session is tailored to the teen’s personality, interests, and goals. We believe therapy shouldn’t feel like a lecture—it should feel like support.
You care deeply about your teen and want the best for them. If you’re noticing changes in their mood, behavior, or communication, therapy can be a proactive way to support their well-being. We keep you in the loop in a way that respects your teen’s confidentiality and autonomy.
We’re here to partner with you—not to replace your role, but to offer another layer of support.
