Therapy for teens

Being a teenager can sometimes be like riding a rollercoaster with no seatbelt. Between all the changes you experience in adolescence, feeling like you're on shaky ground, and dealing with a whirlwind of emotions, it can be a lot to handle. Therapy can be a safe place where you can open up and share what you’re going through without worrying about judgment.

When it comes to stuff you can't talk about with your parents, friends, or teachers, confiding in a therapist can help give you a break from holding a lot of complicated feelings on your own and maybe help you find ways to cope better and not feel so alone, confused, anxious or sad.
