Therapy For Teens

Has Your Teen Been Struggling With Managing Emotions, Relationships, Or Things At School?

• Is your teen having difficulty with social relationships, romantic relationships, or their relationship with family members?
• Has your teen expressed feelings of stress, sadness, or anxiety?
• Does your teen seem shut down, withdrawn, or distracted?

The teenage years are an exciting yet challenging time of growth, exploration, and identity formation. This period can also be incredibly difficult given with the pressures of our culture and the state of the world today. If you have concerns about what is going on with your teen below the surface, you are far from alone, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. Our experienced teen therapists specialize in working with teens and young adults by providing concrete tools and skills, relevant science about the brain and body to empower knowledge, and the most cutting edge evidence-based therapeutic modalities that have worked for countless teens and families who have come through our doors.

Our holistic teen counselors are specialized in meeting each teen and their family’s unique needs, tailoring treatment to your child’s unique strengths, needs, and culture. Our teen counseling team is well-versed research-backed therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), as well as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for teens who have experienced trauma. The holistic teen and young adult therapists here at Quantum can also apply holistic somatic, body-based therapy approaches including meditation, breathwork, yoga, soundhealing, and reiki energy work for teens who may desire these strategies.

Traditional Teen Talk Therapy Often Doesn’t Work!

Many teens and young adults who work with us have already tried more traditional talk therapy without experiencing real shifts or lasting change; approximately 75% of our current clients actually report not finding helpful therapy elsewhere. That’s because today’s adolescent mental health needs often require a more specialized, individualistic, and integrative approach than some more traditional talk therapists are experienced in providing. 

At Quantum, our teen therapy services go beyond talking through problems and basic coping skills. Our counseling for teens focuses on addressing the root cause of emotional distress through a blend of evidence-based western and eastern holistic healing modalities, targeting the body’s autonomic nervous system (ANS) as well as emotions and thoughts of the mind and evidence-based relational models such as DBT. This individually tailored strategy for teen counseling addresses the true foundation of issues and empowers your teen or young adult with concrete coping skills as well as relevant cutting-edge science for lasting, measurable results.

Therapy for Teens: A Holistic Approach Designed to Help Your Teen Thrive

Our teen counseling model believes that growth and healing are much deeper than just talking in circles in a therapy office about “problems.” Quantum’s counseling approach intentionally targets the underlying root cause of whatever concerns are present and educates your child about how to overcome their current circumstances. This approach leaves your teen feeling more confident, capable, and resilient as they look forward to the next phase of their life.

Stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction; these experiences don’t just live in the mind. The latest science tells us that they also live in the body’s nervous system. Our approach integrates state of the art nervous system regulation techniques like breathwork, meditation, and somatic therapy and offers your child concrete, evidenced-based strategies that they can take with them for the rest of their lives. For clients who resonate with spirituality, our team is also very comfortable learning about your child’s unique beliefs and values in this area which can in turn be incorporated as an additional support piece in therapy.

Specialized Teen Therapy for Depression, Anxiety/Panic, and Substance Abuse

Many teen parents who reach out to us are concerned about issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, stress, school-related concerns, or social and relational challenges. Quantum’s holistic approach not only supports teens and young adults, but also you as the parent or guardian. 

Our team of holistic teen counselors are proud to offer periodic teen family therapy sessions, as well as intermittent parent-coaching sessions to equip you with tools and an overall model which will support the transformative work happening in individual therapy.

Quantum also provides counseling for LGBTQ+ youth, ensuring that LGBTQ+ teens receive affirming and identity-sensitive therapy in a safe and supportive space that helps them explore and build confidence in their identity.
