Real Therapy for Real People
Therapy for Teens
Counseling for teens ages 13 to 17, by video from home, with parents involved in the right ways.
Is This You?
You might be thinking:
- "My teen seems stressed all the time about school."
- "They've pulled away from friends and family."
- "We argue every day, and I don't know what's going on with them."
- "They are figuring out who they are and could use support."
Someone Who Isn't a Parent or Teacher
Teens often say things to a counselor they wouldn't say at home. That's normal, and it's part of why therapy helps.
A parent or guardian gives consent and helps get things started. Your teen's counselor explains what stays private and what gets shared, so everyone knows the rules.
What We Help With
- School and grade stress
- Anxiety
- Depression and withdrawal
- Identity and self-esteem

How We Work
Build trust first

Practical coping tools
Cognitive behavioral and mindfulness skills for stress, worry and big feelings.
Parent check-ins
Parents are included in general updates and planning, while the teen's privacy is respected.

Getting Started
- 1. Reach out. A parent or guardian can contact us about a teen. Leave contact information without sharing treatment details by message.
- 2. Free consultation. During the free 15-minute consultation, ask about getting your teen started. We also cover scheduling and payment questions.
- 3. Your first session. We help identify someone whose focus fits your teen's concerns. Share clinician preferences; we honor them where possible.

- Does a parent need to give consent?
- Yes. A parent or guardian gives consent for teens 13 to 17 and is involved in getting started.
- Will I know what my teen talks about?
- You'll get general updates. Details stay private unless there is a safety concern, and the counselor explains this to both of you.
- Can my teen join from their room?
- Yes. A private space at home with headphones works well.
