You used to be close, but now every conversation with your teen feels tense. Our caring therapists can help.

Teen Counseling for teens, parents, and families in charming Midtown Sacramento, Old-Town Fair Oaks, and San Diego, CA.

Our convenient online sessions are available for all California residents.

You know teen independence is normal, but your gut is telling you this is something more.

  • Maybe your son or daughter is more withdrawn than usual

  • Perhaps their confidence is at an all-time low

  • They’re more anxious or scared than they used to be

  • Maybe you're afraid they're using drugs and alcohol

  • Something is "off" with your teen, but you can’t put your finger on it

  • You’ve seen a drop in their grades, or other problems are starting to surface

  • They seem apathetic, unmotivated, and generally just not themselves

Effective teen counseling, from a licensed teen therapist can really help.

Teens face more pressures than ever before.

While some pressure is good, today's teens feel it from almost every angle—there’s pressure to fit in, get good grades, navigate friendships and relationships, find purpose, save the world, get into the “right” school, and so on.

How teen counseling can help…

We’ll help your teen get reconnected by focusing on four main areas: 

  • A strong therapeutic relationship where your teen feels safe to be themselves

  • Mindfulness skills to help them get more connected and deal with stress more effectively

  • Emotion regulation tools to help them handle difficult emotions, which can get in the way of good decision-making

  • Communication skills to help them express their needs and to be able to set healthy boundaries when they need to

We help teens deal with lots of struggles, including substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, identity issues, low self-esteem, and much, much more.

A safe space for all teens.

We understand that when your child is struggling, you’re struggling—we’re sensitive to how overwhelming this is for you.

Our therapists have deep experience working with teens and families of all different kinds to help them get reconnected.

We focus on helping your teen find balance, develop a strong sense of self, clarify and live by their values, and create space so that they can make decisions that move them toward health and wholeness, and away from unhealthy behaviors.

We do this by meeting your teen wherever they're at. We not only want to help them develop insight but also give them practical, usable tools and strategies that work in their everyday lives.

Teen Counseling that works for your life and schedule.

We offer both in-person and online sessions for people anywhere in California.

Our care specialist will match you with the right therapist, making your transition into a new therapy relationship feel safe and easy.
