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, parents, want to do what is best for your child. Teen counseling can be just what adolescents need.
At Mindful Way Counseling we have trained clinicians who provide expert care in counseling for teens. The adolescent years are a particularly vulnerable time for many people. We believe that counseling does not have to be reserved for a crisis. Addressing emotional or behavioral concerns that are impacting teens is a great way to help prevent further concerns from developing. We can help your teen thrive.

How we can help:
Therapy is about so much more than providing teens a place to vent and a compassionate expert to listen to them. Teens benefit most when they are given a patient and trustworthy place to help them with their concerns.
We help guide adolescents to explore and understand their feelings, behaviors, and help them build a toolbox to address current challenges. Teen counseling helps to build a lifelong resiliency that allows your child to successfully navigate challenges that arise throughout life.
We can help your teen grow, thrive, and build their own healthy tools to manage their challenges. Your therapist will work with your family to collaborate on treatment goals and offer support through individual work, family therapy as needed to increase insight into what is going on and support parenting practices.
