adolescent talk therapy
Our Talk Therapy clinicians’ goal is to meet the complex needs of adolescents (ages 13-21) suffering from significant anxieties, resentments, fears and emotional challenges that negatively affect family life, social functioning, peer relationships and academic achievements. It is our mission to foster resilience and self understanding for adolescents at risk of self harm, destructive behaviors, hospitalization and out of home placement.
We believe that when there is persistent emotional and behavioral distress, consistent talk therapy solutions can address the underlying vulnerabilities and consequences of such conditions.
We also believe in partnership with families, child study teams and community based organizations. Talk Therapy will assist the students in focusing on personal growth as well as academic needs .
