Adolescent & Teen Psychotherapy

Being a teen is hard. Adolescence is full of significant life transitions, whether it be starting a new school, making friends, or dealing with daily stressors. As kids enter their teen years they face challenging expectations, social pressures, and academic demands, all whilst exploring their sense of self. This often leads teens to feel anxious, stressed, angry and sad. As LGBTQIA+ affirmative and trans-allied therapists, we often work with teenagers exploring and navigating their sexual and gender identity.

With various tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Art Therapy and Play Therapy, we can provide adolescents with coping mechanisms and tools to help them navigate the difficult challenges that they may face.

Teen Therapy Explorations:

1. Anxiety: Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Symptoms can include excessive worry, racing thoughts, and physical symptoms like sweating or trembling. Psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for anxiety, helping individuals learn coping skills, identify triggers, and manage symptoms. If you're struggling with anxiety, our trained clinicians can provide the support and guidance you need to find relief and improve your quality of life.
2. Panic Attacks: Panic attacks are intense episodes of fear or anxiety that can be overwhelming and debilitating. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and a sense of impending doom. Our psychotherapy practice can provide effective treatment for panic attacks, helping individuals identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and manage symptoms. With the right support, it's possible to overcome panic attacks and regain control over your life.
3. Self-Esteem: Self-esteem refers to the way we feel about ourselves, and can have a significant impact on our mental health and wellbeing. A psychotherapy practice can help individuals improve their self-esteem by identifying negative thought patterns, challenging self-criticism, and developing positive self-talk. With the right support, it's possible to improve your self-esteem and live a more fulfilling life.
4. Self-Love: Self-love is an important aspect of mental health and wellbeing, and involves treating ourselves with compassion and kindness. Our practice can help individuals develop self-love by identifying negative self-talk, setting healthy boundaries, and learning self-care strategies. By prioritizing self-love, individuals can improve their mental health and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
5. Sexual Identity: Sexual identity refers to a person's sense of their own sexual orientation or preference. A psychotherapy practice can provide support and guidance for individuals who are exploring their sexual identity, helping them navigate questions and concerns related to coming out, discrimination, and stigma. With the right support, it's possible to embrace and celebrate your sexual identity.
6. Gender Identity: Gender identity refers to a person's sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. Our trained and affirmative clinicians can provide support and guidance for individuals who are exploring their gender identity, helping them navigate questions and concerns related to transitioning, discrimination, and stigma. With the right support, it's possible to embrace and celebrate your gender identity.
7. Transitioning: Transitioning refers to the process of changing one's gender presentation, often with the goal of aligning it with one's gender identity. Our gender-affirming practice can provide support and guidance for individuals who are transitioning, helping them navigate questions and concerns related to social, medical, and legal aspects of transitioning. With the right support, it's possible to navigate the transition process and live a more authentic life.
8. Coming Out: Coming out refers to the process of sharing one's sexual or gender identity with others, which can be a challenging and emotional experience. Our psychotherapy practice can provide support and guidance for individuals who are coming out, helping them navigate questions and concerns related to family, friends, and other aspects of their lives. With the right support, it's possible to come out on your own terms and live authentically.
9. Social Anxiety: Social anxiety is a mental health condition that can make it difficult to interact with others and participate in social situations. A psychotherapy practice can provide effective treatment for social anxiety, helping individuals identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and manage symptoms. With the right support, it's possible to overcome social anxiety and live a more fulfilling life.
10. Trauma: Trauma refers to a distressing event or series of events that can have a lasting impact on mental health and wellbeing. Our psychotherapy practice specializes in providing effective treatment for trauma, helping individuals process and heal from their experiences, develop coping strategies, and improve their overall quality of life. Some of our clinicians are trained in EMDR or Brainspotting. With the right support, it's possible to overcome the effects of trauma and move towards a more positive future.
11. Navigating Neurodivergence: If you are seeking professional support for a neurodivergent teen with conditions like ADHD or autism, psychotherapy can be an incredibly beneficial avenue. By engaging in targeted therapeutic interventions, these teens can experience transformative effects on their overall well-being. Psychotherapy offers a safe and supportive environment where teens can explore their unique neurodivergent experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and enhance their emotional regulation skills. From managing ADHD symptoms like impulsivity and inattention to addressing social and communication challenges commonly associated with autism, psychotherapy equips these individuals with practical tools to navigate daily life successfully. Through tailored interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or social skills training, neurodivergent teens can gain self-acceptance, build resilience, and foster meaningful relationships. Discover the transformative power of psychotherapy for neurodivergent teens, and help them thrive in a world that may not always understand their unique strengths and challenges.
