I like that Zoey and I both got to share things about each other together.

Listened to our issues and spoke with our niece individually and gave us a plan moving forward.

Parent of a 16 year old · Nov 7, 2026

I felt like I was fully informed. I had documentation and a plan of action on how to move forward. Everything that both parents really needed from this meeting was given. She answered all of our questions and she gave wonderful advice.

Parent of a 14 year old · Nov 6, 2026

This is by far the best therapy session I have ever seen. Not only professional but genuinely knowledgeable and personable. Showed compassion as well as gave me knowledge on how to go about things. This is coming from a person who use to doubt therapy, but now I see the importance. Mrs. Monroe is a true gem and I can say I feel more at ease. Tank You So Much!!!

Atupele did a family session with us and our son. I think she did a wonderful job helping reword to facilitate effective communication and making everyone feel heard.

Parent of a 15 year old · Nov 5, 2026

Dr. Clicque was very helpful to both my daugther and to us as parents. She answered our questions clearly and made our daughter feel comfortable. My daughter opened up to her, so her evaluation was much better because of it. Dr. Clicque also made good, thoughtful recommendations.

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.

Layla really enjoyed getting to know Ms. Desirrae and is excited to work with her.

Parent of a 15 year old · Nov 10, 2026

So far, we have had a wonderful experience. My daughter has always struggled to open up and share anything personal. Now, she is truly looking forward to her sessions with Kellie Daniels. I am so happy to see her at least being open to having some therapy time.

Parent of a 13 year old · Nov 9, 2026

Gabrielle was pleasant and upbeat. She was very supportive and my daughter felt heard, understood and ok with being different and not ok. Her approach was amazing!

Parent of a 17 year old · Nov 9, 2026

Excelente super cercana inspiración confianza, nada invasiva nos encanto!!

Parent of a 15 year old · Nov 7, 2026

Elsie is wonderful and amazes me every session with my son as he is opening up more each time with fears and challenges in life. He truly trusts her and their relationship is wonderful. Everything takes time in my eyes but every session amazes me on how much he is learning and figuring out what he can do to overcome his challenges in life.

Parent of a 13 year old · Nov 7, 2026

I think this might work. My daughter was very attached to her other therapist and I think that they made a connection during their 1st session.

Parent of a 15 year old · Nov 7, 2026

She really really enjoyed it. I’m glad she felt connected

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.

With insurance, a therapy session averages $20 and a medication visit $26. About 3 in 10 therapy sessions cost nothing.

Averages cover January to September 2026 and count visits after a family's deductible was met. Families still in their deductible pay more, and you'll see your own cost before you book.

Your teen can start as soon as tomorrow, with after-school and evening times available.

Your teen's clinician checks in with you on goals and progress. The details of what your teen shares stay between them, so trust can build.
