IN-PERSON & ONLINE THERAPY FOR TEENS | NORTH HOLLYWOOD & ACROSS CA, UT, SC, FL & VT
We can help your teen face their fears, overcome self-doubt, and find the confidence to embrace their true potential.
Support for teens struggling with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and more.
You’re watching your teen search for their own path—a process of discovery and often, insecurity.
Many parents come to us because their teen…
Struggles to make friends
Has lost motivation or interest in the things they used to love
Feels isolated and left out
Hates their parents or seems to be angry all the time—nothing they do feels right, and no matter how hard they try, their teen won’t open up or act like they care
Works so hard to be “perfect” and feel like they never measure up
Is constantly worried, anxious, and overwhelmed
Struggles with low self-esteem and insecurity, unsure of who they really are or where they fit in
You’ve come to the right place. We know how to help.
Adolescence is a complicated time filled with rapid changes in identity, emotions, and relationships. Teenagers can be difficult to understand because they are in the process of learning to understand themselves. And when they’re highly sensitive, prone to perfectionistic tendencies, or neurodivergent it can be even harder. Teens often face the challenge of balancing the need for independence with the desire for belonging—a period of growth that can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
As a parent, it’s hard to know how to make sense of it all yourself, especially when you’re trying to support their autonomy while showing your love and support. Even if you’ve had some successes, it still can feel like there’s one curveball after the next as you try to decode their behavior or the “right” way to do things. You know this is a season that won’t last forever, but it’s also not a time you want to wish away. There has to be a way to make it better, and you’re holding on to that belief for you and your teen.
Help your teen go from “I’m not good enough” to “I am enough.”
HOW THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WORKS
To understand your teen at a deeper level, we invite them into a warm, judgment-free environment where they can feel safe showing up as themselves—feelings, frustrations, dreams, and all.
Your child’s therapist will take the time to develop a sense of trust, by helping them feel accepted and validated in who they are and everything they’re feeling.
Depending on what your teen needs, we’ll use different techniques to help them manage difficult thoughts and keep moving forward—even when it feels tough. For example, we might use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help them accept challenging feelings and still take action toward what really matters to them.
Throughout this process, we’ll help them build self-awareness and emotional strength, so they can better understand their thoughts and reactions. Our approach is flexible and always adjusts to meet your teen’s needs, ensuring they feel supported as they face whatever comes their way.
Here’s how we can help your teen thrive:
-
We’ll guide them in recognizing their thoughts and evaluating whether they align with reality, empowering them to challenge negative or unrealistic thinking patterns.
-
We’ll encourage them to view challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities for growth, helping them build resilience and confidence.
-
We’ll stay attuned to your teen’s needs, ensuring they always feel safe and supported—even if it means pivoting our approach to better meet their emotional state.
-
If they’re feeling anxious or “frizzy,” we may use methods like Brainspotting to help them find calm and regain emotional balance.
We’re here to guide both you and your child through this process—you’re part of this journey, too.
We see your teenager for one small part of the week, but you’re with them every day. That’s why your involvement is so important to making the most of therapy. We’re on your side, committed to helping your teen develop the confidence, resilience, and skills they need to succeed.

They are awesome just the way that they are—we just have to help them see it.

Common questions about therapy for teens
-
It’s normal for teens to be unsure about therapy. We’ll work with you on strategies to introduce therapy in a way that feels comfortable and non-threatening, making it clear that this space is for them.
-
We use evidence-based techniques, like mindfulness, somatic techniques, EMDR, and more to help your teen manage big emotions and cope with overwhelming situations in a way that feels right for them. We’re big believers in understanding the neurobiology of each child or teen so that we can help them with their behavior and you in your role as their parent.
-
Therapy can help your teen navigate challenges with emotional regulation, social skills, self-esteem, and coping with sensory sensitivities. We want to give them tools to better understand themselves and thrive in their own way.
-
We see parents as important partners in their teen’s therapy process. We value and uphold your teen’s confidentiality in sessions, but if there’s something beneficial for you to know, we’ll work collaboratively—and sensitively—to ensure everyone is informed and supported. Your involvement will focus on learning key skills to support your teen’s growth at home, from validating emotions to reinforcing positive behaviors.
