Support Designed Just for Them
Teen Counseling in La Plata, MD
ARE YOU...
-
Worried about your teen’s mood, motivation, or sudden changes in behavior?
-
Seeing them struggling with anxiety, depression, social pressure, or the overwhelming stress of being a teenager today?
​
The teen years can feel confusing, isolating, and emotionally intense. Many teens battle self doubt, academic pressure, relationship issues, identity questions, or the weight of expectations. Parents often feel lost, trying to figure out how to help or stay connected when their teen begins to pull away. These challenges can create tension at home and leave everyone feeling discouraged or overwhelmed.
What you want most is for your teen to feel confident, supported, emotionally balanced, and able to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.
Studies show that teens who participate in counseling experience improvements in emotional regulation, self-esteem, and overall functioning, according to the American Psychological Association.
Teen counseling provides a safe space for young people to open up, build skills, and feel understood.
OUR TEEN COUNSELING SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO MEET ADOLESCENTS EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed practices, and nervous system regulation, we help teens understand their emotions, manage stress, and develop healthier ways to cope. Therapy gives teens the freedom to express themselves honestly without fear of judgment or pressure.
We support teens facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, social challenges, academic stress, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Each session is personalized to your teen’s goals, strengths, and developmental needs. Our approach blends structure with compassion so that teens feel both empowered and supported as they work toward positive change.
What To Expect
In the first session, your teen will meet their therapist in a warm and welcoming environment. We take time to understand their concerns, interests, communication style, and what they hope to gain from counseling. Parents are often involved at the beginning for goal setting and updates, while the teen maintains a safe level of privacy to build trust.
Session activities may include conversation, practical skill building, emotion regulation strategies, problem-solving support, and tools to handle real-life challenges. We speak to teens respectfully, authentically, and in a way that helps them feel seen and heard. As therapy continues, your teen will gain confidence, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
Next Steps
Getting started is simple. Begin by scheduling a consultation.
This is a chance to ask questions, share your teen’s needs, and find the right clinician for them. From there, we’ll guide you through the next steps and make the process easy and supportive.
Your teen doesn’t have to navigate these years alone. We’re here to help them grow, discover themselves, and build a strong foundation for emotional wellness.
