Teen Therapy

Psykhe Center offers teen/adolescent therapy and counseling that focus on the unique challenges that adolescents face during this formative and transitional period in their lives. Adolescents may struggle with a range of mental health concerns including social media, peer pressure, anxiety, social anxiety, self-esteem, identity concerns, social and academic concerns, stress related to global concerns, friend group shifts, bullying, hormonal changes, family stress, depression, substance use, or relationship issues.

Teenagers go through significant physical, emotional, and social changes during their adolescent years, and this can lead to stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Teen therapy can also help adolescents navigate difficult family dynamics or relationship issues and develop stronger social skills.

Therapy can help them develop coping skills and strategies for managing their unique stressors and mental health concerns. This may include teaching teens mindfulness practices, breathwork, stress reduction techniques. We provide evidence-based treatments, such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help clients build resilience and develop healthy coping skills.

One of the benefits of teen therapy is that it can help adolescents develop better communication skills. Adolescents may struggle to communicate their feelings and needs effectively, which can lead to frustration and misunderstandings. Through therapy, teens can learn how to express themselves more clearly and develop stronger relationships with their peers and family members.

Another benefit of teen therapy is that it can help teenagers develop a greater sense of self-awareness. Adolescents may be struggling with a range of issues that they are not fully aware of, such as low self-esteem or anxiety. Through therapy, teens can develop a greater understanding of their thoughts and feelings and develop healthy coping strategies to manage them.

We, as providers, understand that this can be a challenging time in a young person’s life and provides a safe space for compassionate and non-judgmental support. Psykhe Center uses a holistic and integrative approach with evidence-based techniques to help teens overcome their mental health challenges and achieve their goals. We are committed to helping clients develop healthy coping strategies to manage these challenges.
