Teen & Adolescent Counseling

Every identity deserves a safe space to heal

Counseling for ages 10 through 18, LGBTQ+ friendly, always.

A space where your teen, or you, if you're the one reading this yourself, can actually be heard.

For Parents

You know your kid. Something's different lately.

Mood swings that feel bigger than usual

Not typical teenage moodiness, something that feels harder to explain away.

Grades slipping, or pulling back

From school, from hobbies, from things they used to genuinely love.

Going quiet, or pulling away

From friends, from family, from conversations that used to come easy.

A specific moment that changed something

A loss, a breakup, being bullied, a friendship that ended badly.

Experiencing anger issues

Frustration that shows up faster, or bigger, than it used to.

Anxiety & Depression

A heaviness or a constant worry that's stuck around longer than a rough week.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not overreacting, and you haven't missed anything. These are exactly the kinds of things worth paying attention to, even before you're sure what's actually going on.

Reaching out doesn't mean something is seriously wrong. It means you're paying attention, and that's already the hardest part done.

For Teens

If you're the one reading this, and not your parent...

... This isn't about getting you to talk about things you're not ready for, or about everything you say going straight back to your parents. It's a space that's actually yours, and it's okay to not have the words for what's going on yet.

This space is yours

What you share here doesn't automatically go back to your parents. We'll walk through exactly what stays private before you even start.

You control the pace

Nothing here happens before you're ready. You decide what to share, and when, one session at a time.

You won't be judged

Nobody here is trying to fix you, or tell you everything you're doing wrong. It's a space to actually be heard, not lectured at.

how we help

The support behind the promise

One-on-one counseling

A space that's just for your teen, with someone trained to work with this age specifically, not therapy built for adults and scaled down.

Emotions Explorers group

A group built around understanding big feelings and building confidence, alongside peers going through similar things.

Always LGBTQ+ affirming

Whoever your teen is, and however they identify, they'll be met with respect here. No exceptions.

Online is an option

If getting to the office isn't realistic, or home just feels safer, sessions are available online too.

Looking for something built specifically for ADHD or neurodivergent teens?

ready to talk?

Let's find the right fit for your teen

What To Expect

Getting started is simple

A first conversation

Understanding what's going on, without pressure to have it all figured out on day one. This is a chance to talk, not a test, and there's no wrong way to start.

A plan that fits

Individual sessions, group support, or both, decided together, at the right pace. What works for one teen might not work for another, so the plan is built around your kid specifically, not a standard template.

Begin your healing process

Sessions build steadily over time, giving your teen room to open up at their own pace, not a rigid script. Progress here isn't measured by how fast things move, but by whether it actually feels like it's helping.

meet your therapists

questions about Teen & Adolescent Counseling

A few things people usually ask

What age range do you see? 

Adolescents and teens, ages 10 through 18. If your child is younger than that, our general individual and group therapy services cover kids starting around age 5.

Will I know everything my teen talks about in sessions?

Not everything, and that's intentional. Teens need a space that feels like their own to actually open up. Before sessions start, we'll walk through how confidentiality works for your teen's specific age and situation, so you know what to expect going in. Safety concerns are always shared with you, no exceptions there.

What if my teen doesn't want to come?

That's genuinely common, most teens don't walk in thrilled about therapy, and that's okay. The first session is a low-pressure conversation, not an interrogation. It's normal if it takes a session or two before your teen starts to feel comfortable, that's part of the process, not a sign it isn't working.

What if my teen doesn't want me involved at all?

That's a conversation worth having directly with the therapist. Teens often need more independence than younger kids, and we take that seriously, while still keeping you informed on anything that matters for their safety and wellbeing. It's rarely all-or-nothing.

My teen is turning 19 soon, what happens then?

Nothing changes abruptly. Many young adults continue with the same therapist past 18 if the relationship is working well, transitioning naturally into our general individual therapy rather than starting over with someone new.

What if this is affecting our whole family, not just my teen?

That happens more than you'd think, one person's struggle rarely stays contained to just them. If it makes sense, we can bring in family sessions alongside your teen's individual counseling, so everyone gets support, not just the person who happens to be struggling loudest.
