Therapy is hugely beneficial for adolescents, as adolescents face many stressors including school, friend, and family issues. Therapy provides a safe place to sort through life stressors while also building skills in self-awareness, emotion regulation, and communication.

If you are looking for a therapist, we recommend first calling your insurance provider to understand behavioral health benefits. You can find local therapist and psychologists that take your insurance via Psychology Today: Health, Help, Happiness + Find a Therapist
