Teens may need therapy if they are struggling with persistent stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or changes in behavior. Warning signs include withdrawing from friends and family, a sudden drop in grades, lack of motivation, increased irritability, or engaging in risky behaviors.

Teen therapy provides a safe, confidential space for adolescents to express their thoughts and emotions. It helps them develop healthy coping strategies, build confidence, improve decision-making skills, and strengthen relationships with family and peers.

Yes! We offer a hybrid therapy option, with both in-person and online sessions. However, we highly recommend starting with in-person sessions to assess if online therapy is the right fit. Once we determine that virtual sessions will be effective, we can transition to online therapy for added flexibility.

Play-based therapy is a specific technique used in therapy  that uses play as a way for children to express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through play, children communicate in a natural and comfortable way, allowing therapists to understand and address their feelings, challenges, and behaviors in a non-intrusive manner.

Play-based therapy can help children work through difficult emotions, build problem-solving skills, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and improve their relationships with others. It’s especially beneficial for children who may struggle to express themselves verbally.

During a session, your child will engage in various play-based activities under the guidance of a trained therapist. These activities are chosen intentionally to encourage self-expression, build trust, and foster emotional growth. The therapist will observe and interact with your child to understand their needs and feelings.

Parental involvement can vary based on the child’s needs and therapeutic goals. Therapists often involve parents by providing feedback, discussing progress, and suggesting ways to support your child at home, even if you aren’t present in each session.
