Adolescent Therapy

The teenage years are full of change — emotionally, socially, and neurologically. It’s a time of growing independence, big questions, and powerful emotions. While this stage can be exciting, it can also feel overwhelming — for teens and their parents.

What support do we provide for teens?

Adolescent therapy provides a space where young people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. It can help them make sense of what they’re going through, develop healthy coping tools, and strengthen their relationships — including the one they have with themselves.

Our work with teens focuses on building connection — with themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

We support teens through challenges like:

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Stress

  • Self-esteem

  • Self-confidence

  • Emotional regulation

  • Communication skills

  • Mood changes

  • Suicidal Ideation

  • Self-Harm

  • Identity

  • Grief

  • Learning Difficulties

  • Neurodivergence

  • Social Pressures

What does this look like?

Teen therapy is tailored to meet young people where they’re at. Some like to talk; others need time to build trust. We focus on creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and pressure-free.

Depending on the young person’s needs and preferences, therapy might include:

  • Talking through thoughts, feelings, or challenges

  • Exploring identity, relationships, or life changes

  • Learning practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or low mood

  • Building emotional awareness and communication skills

  • Creative, body-based or mindfulness tools to support regulation

We take a flexible, relational approach — working with your teen at their pace, and in ways that make sense for them.

Are caregivers involved in therapy?

We approach teen therapy as a partnership — with the goal of supporting the young person’s wellbeing, while helping families feel more connected and understood. Your involvement would be discussed during the first session. We value providing a private space for teens, while also working alongside caregivers as trusted supports and ensuring your teen’s safety.

This might involve:

  • Brief check-ins or updates (with your teen’s consent)

  • Support around specific concerns or challenges

  • Guidance on how to strengthen communication and connection at home

  • Resources or strategies tailored to your family’s needs
