Therapy for Teens: Guiding Adolescents Toward Healing and Growth

For Teenagers

The teenage years are full of challenges—identity struggles, emotional highs and lows, and the pressures of school, relationships, and social media. At Ascend Holistically, we provide a safe, supportive space where teens can explore their feelings, build resilience, and learn tools to navigate life’s challenges. Our specialized therapy for teens is tailored to meet their unique needs, fostering healing, growth, and confidence during this pivotal stage of life.

What does therapy with teens look like?

Teen therapy is a personalized counseling process designed to help adolescents address their struggles in a healthy, productive way. Teens often face emotional challenges that they may not know how to express or manage, and therapy provides them with the support and tools they need to grow.

At Ascend, we address a range of issues teens face, including:

Anxiety and depression
School-related stress and academic pressure
Trauma and loss
Peer relationships and bullying
Identity struggles and self-esteem issues
Family conflict and communication challenges
