Our Therapists Help Teens:
Clearly Communicate Feelings
We help teens clearly communicate their feelings (anger, anxiety, worry, etc.) so they can articulate what they need so parents don't have to guess and can quickly provide support for their child.
Manage Big Emotions
We equip teens with the tools to manage big emotions and find creative ways to self-soothe so what used to take minutes or even hours, now only takes a few moments.
Increase Relational Capacity
We help children strengthen their listening skills, communication tools, and their ability to resolve problems and conflicts with family members and peers.

Frequently Asked Questions
My teen refuses to go to therapy. How can you help?
It is common for teens to be hesitant. Our therapists specialize in building rapport with reluctant adolescents by creating a low-pressure, relatable environment. We focus on connection first, so they feel heard rather than "treated."
What issues do you treat in adolescents?
We treat a wide range of issues common to modern teens, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, social media pressures, self-esteem issues, and family conflict.
Is what my teen says in therapy kept private?
Yes, confidentiality is crucial for effective teen therapy. While we keep parents informed about safety risks and general progress, we respect the teen's privacy to foster trust and open communication.
Do you offer virtual therapy for teens?
Absolutely. We know teens are busy with school and activities. We offer secure, virtual therapy sessions for adolescents across Colorado and New Mexico.
