Supporting Teenagers on Their Journeys to Well-being

Teenagers experience significant emotional, psychological, and social changes, and this stage of their lives may cause mood swings, stress, low self-esteem, conflicts, anxiety, identity shifts, and problems at home. Major rifts between teens and their parents can make it challenging for teens to access the wise guidance and loving support their parents have to offer. That’s when it helps for our teen therapists to step in so they can establish a safe space for teens to express themselves, explore their thoughts and feelings, and learn tools that will support them on their path to wellness.

Our Therapeutic Approaches

Mindful Child & Family Therapy uses various evidence-based therapy modalities. Our therapists implement a combination of the following:

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – With CBT, your teenager will learn to identify their feelings and develop ways to regulate their emotions. CBT also encourages teens to adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy – IFS empowers teens to manage their emotions and focus on Self-Leadership skills.
• Art therapy and music therapy – By emphasizing creativity, these therapies allow teens to process their emotions and thoughts in a safe, relaxed, low-stress space.
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – DBT uses mindfulness tools to help teens with interpersonal development, trauma work, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.
