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.

We absolutely love Katie Jones. What stands out most is how she connects with my daughter on a personal level. She doesn’t treat her like just another patient. I admire how Katie takes the time to ask about her school activities, interests, and hobbies, and even remembers those details from visit to visit. It means so much to have a provider who makes my daughter feel seen, heard, and comfortable. We are so grateful.

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.
