Boost Your Teen's Success with Therapy
Mental Health Issues are Common in Teens
Boost Your Teen's Success with Therapy
It’s estimated that 1 in 6 US kids and teens experience a mental health disorder and 50% of mental illnesses begin by age 14.
Teens face a variety of pressures, including keeping up with school work, peer pressure, bullying, as well as performing in sports and other activities. Teens are also dealing with hormonal changes and the desire to assert a sense of independence. Teens often don’t want to confide in their parents and it is normal and healthy for teens to want to talk to someone else. This is where therapy can step in.
Adolescence is a tough time for teens and families, but teen therapy can help.

About Teen Therapy
Teens are one of the easiest groups to engage in online therapy. Teens are used to talking to friends through FaceTime or Zoom and are used to developing relationships online. Teen therapy online provides flexibility when a busy schedule makes it hard to add another activity. Family therapy can be done online as well and can be easier to coordinate when the family is home together.
Parents are always involved in teen therapy. Our therapists prioritize the connection with the teenager, in order to build trust, while also incorporating parents. Your therapist will be available to answer any questions or concerns that you have along the way. Your therapist will also explain how confidentiality works in teen therapy. Your role as a parent is essential and your therapist will help give you strategies to support your teen during therapy.
Therapy is an investment in the health and future of your teenager. While you are committing resources to therapy, your teen can learn habits and skills that can benefit them throughout their lives. It is important to intervene during adolescence, as the teen brain grows and develops. In many ways, teenage years are the most vital time to engage in therapy. And many insurance companies will reimburse a portion of therapy costs.
Your Teen Can Learn Healthy Habits
Teen therapy is a great way for adolescents to learn more about themselves, their choices, and their emotions. Teen counseling can be an important way to support the entire family and facilitate healthy communication. We want you to know that you don’t have to struggle alone and we are here to help.
