Adolescents have enough to deal with in their constantly changing world, and constantly growing bodies and minds. When behavior or emotional problems are added into the mix, it can become a struggle. No one wants to watch their teen struggle with emotional or behavioral problems without enough support or tools to handle it.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) can be used by adolescent therapists to address many common issues. These include emotional issues like anxiety, anger, and depression. CBT can also be used to help children and adolescents with behavior issues related to school (both academic and social functioning).
CBT helps children better understand their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and how they all influence each other. Our adolescent therapists help clients by giving them specific tools to use to change their behaviors, so clients can be more productive, reduce emotional reactions, and better navigate social interactions with peers, teachers, siblings, and parents.
