Because Growing Up Shouldn’t Feel Overwhelming
Being a teenager comes with its own set of unique challenges.
Let’s be honest: teen life is intense. Between school pressure, social media, shifting friendships, identity questions, and big emotions they don’t always know how to handle—it’s no wonder teens feel overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down.
And as a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle. You want to help, but sometimes they won’t open up. Or when they do, it turns into an argument. You just want to get through to them—and feel close again. That’s where we come in.
At Thrive Postpartum Couples & Family Therapy, we are dedicated to helping teenagers thrive during this crucial stage of life.
It’s Okay To Not Have It All Figured Out
Being a teen today is a lot. There’s pressure to do well in school, fit in socially, figure out who they are, and somehow keep it all together—while their brain and body are still changing daily. It’s no wonder so many teens feel anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or just not okay. They might struggle with friendships, confidence, school stress, or big emotions they don’t know how to handle. That’s where therapy can make a real difference.
We work with teenagers facing a wide range of mental health challenges and emotional struggles. Teens often experience overwhelming emotions, confusing changes, and the pressures of navigating relationships, identity, and growing up in today’s world.
Teen therapy can provide relief from challenges such as:
Anxiety: Excessive worry, fear, or nervousness that interferes with daily life.
Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities.
Stress: Academic pressures, family dynamics, and social expectations that lead to overwhelm.
Body Image and Eating Disorders: Struggles with body image due to societal pressures or developing eating disorders.
Self-Esteem and Identity Issues: The challenge of self-discovery, feeling unsure of who they are or where they fit in.
Substance Abuse: Using substances to cope with emotions or fit in.
Cyberbullying: The impact of online harassment and its effect on self-esteem and mental health.
Peer Pressure: Struggling with fitting in, making choices, and navigating social relationships.
Teens Deserve to Feel Like Themselves
We utilize a trauma-informed approach in therapy, integrating techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns, while also supporting emotional regulation and stress management. For deeper trauma processing, we may incorporate EMDR to help release trauma from the body and mind. Our therapists take a client-centered approach, empowering teens to explore their emotions, behaviors, and relationships at their own pace, while providing them with the tools to understand and manage their mental health.
Common themes in teen therapy include managing stress and emotions, building self-confidence, handling family and peer relationships, finding personal identity, dealing with social media pressures, and improving mental health.
Our goal is to support teens in feeling stronger, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
Empowering the Next Generation to Thrive
In a typical session at Thrive Postpartum, Couples, and Family Therapy, the therapist and teen will start by discussing how things have been going, focusing on any recent challenges, stressors, or emotions the teen is experiencing. The therapist will listen carefully, validate the teen’s feelings, and help them identify patterns in their thinking or behavior. Using CBT, the therapist may help the teen reframe negative thoughts or teach coping strategies for stress.
Therapy is a collaborative process where the teen’s voice is heard, and each session is tailored to the teen’s needs, ensuring they leave feeling empowered and supported. Whether the focus is on managing day-to-day stress or processing deeper emotional experiences, our therapists ensure that the teen feels safe and understood throughout the process.
