Teen therapy helps teens tackle their struggles
It’s no surprise that teens face more challenges today than ever before. Teens may be dealing with issues like bullying, low self-esteem, or questions about their identity. They may also struggle with academic pressures, social issues, or peer pressure. Many are also trying to manage family expectations, changes in mood, or the constant influence of social media. These challenges can leave teens feeling overwhelmed or unsure of themselves.

Our Austin Teen Therapy (also known as our Adolescent Therapy Program) offers a safe and supportive environment for teens (ages 13-17) to explore their emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate healthy coping strategies.

What to Expect in Teen Counseling
Meeting with one of our teen therapists weekly, your teen will form a relationship with someone who understands the unique challenges of being a teenager.

In the therapy sessions, your teen can expect to talk about a wide range of topics, from school pressures and social dynamics to personal goals and aspirations. The therapist will listen intently and offer insights to help your teen gain a better understanding of themselves. Our goal is to help your teenager navigate the ups and downs of adolescence and support their journey toward self-awareness and personal growth.

The first session is all about building a foundation of trust and comfort. Our main goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where your teen feels heard. The therapist will focus on getting to know your teenager, understanding the unique challenges they face, and discussing their personal goals and aspirations. Whether therapy was their idea or not, our counselors work hard to build a trusting relationship from the very first meeting, helping your teen feel understood and supported on their journey.
