Teen Therapy in Raleigh, NC
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR TEENS Durham, APEX, RALEIGH, AND NORTH RALEIGH, NC
WE WORK WITH TEENS, AGES 13-17, TO ASSIST IN NAVIGATING THIS SEASON.
The hardest time (in history) to be a teen is now. Being a teenager today comes with unique challenges- pressures of school, family, work, social media, and physical challenges. Truthfully, that can make life feel overwhelming. And while most are doing their best, it doesn’t feel like enough. There is so much pressure to fit in, achieve, and be perfect. Furthermore, it feels like most don’t understand the level of stress. Many teens come to therapy feeling like they have no one to talk to including their peers and parents.
Whew- there is good news! If your teen is:
Struggling with anxiety
Depression
Grief
Navigating life’s adjustments
Feeling isolated
Dealing with social skills
Academic struggles
Therapy for teens can provide a safe space to process those feelings and develop coping strategies. Our therapists in North Carolina are here to help teens build the emotional tools they need to manage stress, develop healthy relationships, and make empowered life decisions.
