The teen years are a lot. The right support helps.

Adolescence brings new pressures: academic expectations, social comparison, identity exploration, and increasing independence. Emotional highs and lows can feel bigger and harder to manage. Therapy provides a structured space for teens to build skills that last.

Wonderful first experience for my teen and me! Our first online session with Crystal at Emora exceeded our expectations. The platform was easy to log into, and the setup felt completely private. She was fantastic with adolescents and immediately put my daughter at ease while making sure we both felt heard. We left with a clear plan for ongoing visits. If you're a parent looking for high-quality care for your teen, I highly recommend Emora. The process was smooth and a huge relief!

Dr. Clicque was very warm and caring. She put my daughter and me at ease and made us comfortable throughout the entire process. Vetting and comfort were very important to me after a bad experience with a different provider (not from Emora). In addition, receiving a valid and thorough assessment was critical. My child's doctor was very pleased and impressed by the thoroughness of the assessment. I can't compliment Dr. Clicque enough or adequately express our gratitude!!

Frequently asked questions

If your teen is experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, withdrawal, irritability, declining grades, or difficulty managing emotions, therapy can help. You don't need a diagnosis to start — early support makes a difference.

Yes. Therapy sessions are confidential. Your teen's therapist will explain the limits of confidentiality at the start. Parents receive general progress updates, but specific session content stays between your teen and their therapist unless safety is a concern.

Therapists share general progress and recommendations with parents, but respect your teen's privacy regarding session content. Exceptions are made only when there are safety concerns. This balance supports trust and therapeutic progress.

It depends on your teen's needs. Some teens benefit from 8–12 sessions; others engage in longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you and your teen to set goals and assess progress along the way.

Yes. Anxiety and depression are among the most common conditions we treat in teens. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, tailored for adolescents.

Yes. We offer both therapy and medication management for ADHD. Teens receive support for executive functioning, focus, time management, and academic strategies — all in one place.

It's common for teens to resist therapy at first. Our therapists are experienced in building rapport with reluctant teens. We also offer parent guidance sessions to help you support your teen through the process.

When appropriate and with your consent, we can coordinate with school counselors and teachers to support your teen's academic and emotional needs.
