WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Being a teen today is a lot. There are big feelings, growing pressure, and no clear path. School stress, social media, identity questions, family changes, anxiety, sadness, or just feeling like no one gets it—it can all make you lose your way.
Your teen might be shutting down, lashing out, or pulling away. Maybe they can’t find the words for what’s wrong. Or maybe they’re trying to hold it all together, but you can see the cracks forming.
Adolescence is already a time of huge transition—and when it’s paired with emotional struggles, they need more than just to “tough it out.” Sometimes, they need outside, professional support.
WHERE WILL THEY GO?
The goal is not perfection—it’s full potential
We want your teen to feel safe being who they are — and supported in figuring out who they’re becoming. With the right guidance, they can learn to express emotions in healthy ways, manage stress, build confidence, learn healthy negotiation with parents/peers, and form stronger connections.
The goal isn’t to “fix” them — it’s to help them feel steady, curious, and empowered. We help them discover how capable they really are, even in the face of big feelings and uncertainty.
HOW WILL THEY GET THERE?
Connection comes first—then growth can follow
Our therapists specialize in working with teens and tweens in a way that feels natural, respectful, and grounded in trust. Depending on their needs, therapy may include:
- Talk therapy that meets them at their level
- Coping tools for anxiety, depression, sadness, anger, or feeling overwhelmed
- Support with identity, relationships, goals, or school stress
- Family sessions to strengthen communication and understanding
Our Adolescent Mental Health Therapy in San Diego works with your teen at their pace—giving them space to be heard, skills to handle challenges, and the support to grow into the person they’re meant to be.
