Teen Counseling

Teen Counseling

We understand that all teens have unique strengths and struggles. Despite any current challenges, we feel that all teens want to find ways to feel and do well. Sometimes they just need a little help. We also know that you, as parents, want to do what is best for your child.
The adolescent years are a particularly vulnerable time. We believe that counseling does not have to be reserved for a crisis; addressing emotional or behavioral concerns early is a great way to prevent further challenges from developing. At Mindful Way Counseling, our trained clinicians provide supportive care to help your teen thrive.

  • Ellie Brice, LGSW (all ages)
  • Janie Yang, LICSW (all ages)

How Teen therapy can help

Teens benefit from having a neutral space that they can safely process their emotions, share their concerns without worrying about a loved one’s reaction, and a trained professional to help guide them to build better tools for emotional regulation and communication. 

In therapy, our providers help teens explore and understand their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts, so they can build a toolbox to address current and future challenges. This helps to build a lifelong resiliency that allows your child to successfully navigate the challenges that arise throughout life. 

Your provider will work with your teen and collaborate with family on a treatment plan, and offer support through individual work and family therapy as needed to increase insight into what is going on and support you in your parenting.
