Therapy for Teens
(13-17)
Adolescence is filled with growth, discovery, and new pressures, which can feel overwhelming at times. My therapy sessions offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where teens can explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges, such as:
Academic stress
Pressure to perform well in school and extracurriculars can lead to anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt. Therapy helps teens manage expectations and develop healthy study-life balance.
Peer relationships and social pressure
Navigating friendships, cliques, and the desire to fit in can be emotionally exhausting. Therapy supports teens in building confidence and making authentic connections.
Self-esteem and identity development
Teens are constantly discovering who they are. Therapy encourages self-acceptance, emotional growth, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Family conflict or communication issues.
Family conflict or communication issues
Struggles with parents or siblings can create tension and emotional distance. Therapy offers a neutral space to express feelings and improve communication. Anxiety and depression.
Anxiety and depression
Emotional ups and downs are common during adolescence, but persistent sadness, worry, or isolation may need deeper support. Therapy helps teens understand their emotions and develop coping tools.
