Therapy for Teens in Honolulu and Greensboro

The teenage years are full of changes and can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. As a parent, it’s challenging to watch your “baby” grow up and transition out of childhood. This transition can be tough at times because your teen craves autonomy, freedom, and privacy.

Life is always changing and this can be troubling for teens.

As they navigate these changes, your teen may find themselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or confused. They might shut down, isolate or lash out. Your teen may not know what to do with all of their emotions and they might take things out on you. You may want to help your teen, but you don’t know what to do. They tell you that everything is “fine.” As a parent, you’re feeling concerned, anxious, and stuck. You and your teen don’t have to navigate these challenges on your own. We’re here to help with therapy for teens in Honolulu, HI and online in North Carolina.

Therapy for Teens in Honolulu, HI and Greensboro, NC Can Help Adolescents Breathe!

We know it’s not easy to open up, especially to a complete stranger. Our teen therapists strive to be patient with your teen as they learn to trust us and understand the therapy process. Your teen can find peace knowing that what they share with us is confidential. As your teen’s therapist, we’ll listen to them without judgment, provide various suggestions/recommendations and empower your teen to make positive changes. In therapy for teens, we’ll spend time exploring your teen’s thought processes, validating their emotions, and helping them find solutions to their problems. It’s our priority that your teen feels heard!

Your teen will begin to feel more confident and regulate their emotions better.

As we begin to unpack your teen’s emotions, they will find relief from their anxious thoughts, feel more motivated, and start to let go of the past. While working together, your teen will experience the following as a result of therapy and their personal growth:

• Learn healthy coping skills and self-care practices

• Identify their emotions and triggers

• Improve relationships and communication with family and friends

• Recognize their strengths and experience increased positive self-talk

Walk and Talk Therapy for Teens in Honolulu, HI

Another approach that has been proven to be effective with teens is Walk & Talk Therapy. Walk & Talk Therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that brings therapy outdoors! This method is effective with teens because some find it uncomfortable to make direct eye contact with others. Additionally, for depression in teens or anxiety in teens, being in nature is good for their mental health. During Walk & Talk Therapy sessions, our teen clients feel more relaxed and tend to open up quicker when they’re walking in nature.

We’re excited for the opportunity to help your teen overcome their challenges and help them become who they’re meant to be! If you and your teen are ready, begin teen therapy with us!
