Wellness Through Counseling
Positive change often begins with an open heart
Is your teen pulling away… and you’re not sure how to reach them anymore?
They’re shutting you out and saying “you don’t get it.”
Their moods are unpredictable: from angry outbursts to total withdrawal.
They’re glued to their phone, yet feel lonelier than ever.
Their grades are slipping, motivation is low, and something just feels off.
You’ve noticed a change in how they dress, act, or talk… and you're worried.
You're constantly questioning: Is this just being a teen… or something more?
If you feel like you're watching your teen struggle but don’t know how to help, you're not alone, and there is support.
What is teen therapy?
Adolescence is a time of major growth, but also intense emotional pressure. With increased academic stress, social media influence, shifting identities, and a growing desire for independence, teens today are under more pressure than ever before.
Teen therapy provides a safe space for them to talk, reflect, and gain tools to manage life’s challenges. It also supports parents in rebuilding connection, improving communication, and navigating boundaries that actually work.
At Wellness Through Counseling, we work with teens ages 13+ and their families to create healthier dynamics, promote emotional well-being, and foster confidence during these critical years.
What to Expect: Family + Individual Teen Therapy
We take a whole-family approach when supporting teens, often integrating both individual and family sessions depending on your unique needs.
Signs Your Teen May Need Therapy
Every teen is different, but here are some common signs they may benefit from professional support:
-
Angry outbursts or intense emotional reactions
-
Defiance or frequent arguments at home
-
Changes in appearance, hygiene, or behavior
-
Drop in grades or school refusal
-
Withdrawal from family, friends, or activities they once enjoyed
-
Increased risk-taking behavior
-
Anxiety, panic attacks, or racing thoughts
-
Isolation from peers or excessive time online
-
Poor decision-making or impulsivity

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Early support can make a huge difference.
