Common Teen Challenges We Address

Every teen faces unique struggles. Our therapists specialize in helping adolescents navigate the most common mental health and developmental challenges.

😰

Teen Anxiety & Worry

Constant worry about school performance, social situations, or the future can paralyze teens. We teach proven anxiety management techniques that work.

Signs to watch for:
  • Panic attacks or physical symptoms
  • Avoiding school or social events
  • Perfectionism and fear of failure
  • Excessive reassurance-seeking
😔

Depression & Low Mood

Teen depression looks different than adult depression. We help teens recognize symptoms, build coping skills, and rediscover joy.

Signs to watch for:
  • Withdrawal from friends and activities
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Loss of interest in hobbies
  • Irritability or angry outbursts

School Stress & Academic Pressure

Between grades, college prep, and extracurriculars, teens feel overwhelmed. We help them manage stress and build sustainable study habits.

Signs to watch for:
  • Procrastination or avoidance
  • Test anxiety or performance fears
  • Burnout and exhaustion
  • Decline in grades despite effort
👥

Social Challenges & Peer Pressure

Navigating friendships, fitting in, and handling peer pressure is tough. We help teens build confidence and healthy boundaries.

Signs to watch for:
  • Trouble making or keeping friends
  • Social media comparison and FOMO
  • Bullying (as victim or perpetrator)
  • Risky behavior to fit in
💭

Identity & Self-Esteem Issues

Teen years are all about figuring out "who am I?" We provide safe space to explore identity, sexuality, values, and self-worth.

Signs to watch for:
  • Negative self-talk or body image issues
  • Identity confusion or questioning
  • Comparison to peers or siblings
  • Fear of judgment or rejection
