While teens are almost adults, the adolescent brain is still developing, most notably in the regions associated with emotional regulation, impulse control and long-term decision making. Working with an experienced therapist can help them develop the skills and knowledge to know what to do with overwhelming emotions.

While your teen may want to open up to you, they might feel too embarrassed or afraid to share everything on their mind. Having another trusted, supportive adult in their life can provide a safe outlet, helping them explore their thoughts and emotions in a way that fosters self-discovery.

Our therapists model and teach assertive communication skills, including how to make connections, how to set healthy boundaries, and how to end unhealthy relationships. These important skills will help them navigate life’s most difficult communication challenges.

When a person knows themselves, they become confident. When a person knows the world, they become humble. Working with a therapist can help teens work through their challenges without damaging their self-worth, learn how to make the most out of their talents and strengths, all while staying true to their personal morals and values.
