I wish they’d stop treating me like a kid.

Being a teenager today is really hard.

“Nobody gets what I’m going through.”
“I want to support them but I don’t know how.”
“Why won’t they just trust me?”
“How do I give them space while still keeping them safe?”

About Teen & Family Therapy

At Collaborative CBT, we work with both teens individually and with families as a whole to build understanding, ease tensions, and develop healthier ways to communicate and support each other.

Adolescence can be a time of rapid change and growing independence.

Teens often face unique challenges such as:

academic stress
social pressures
anxiety
depression
identity exploration
overwhelm

At the same time, parents and caregivers may feel uncertain about how to best support them. That’s where therapy can help.

Whether your teen needs space to process personal challenges, or your family wants to come together to strengthen connection, our CBT-based approach provides practical tools and strategies for growth, resilience, and healthier relationships.

Individual Therapy for Teens:

Every teen deserves a safe space where they can be heard without judgment. In individual therapy, teens have the opportunity to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a supportive environment tailored just for them.

Our therapists work collaboratively with teens to:

Build coping skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress
Strengthen self-esteem and confidence
Improve problem-solving and decision-making
Navigate friendships, school pressures, and identity development
Learn healthy ways to express emotions and set boundaries

By combining evidence-based CBT strategies with compassion and curiosity, we help teens feel more empowered to face challenges and build resilience they can carry into adulthood.

Family Therapy:

Family dynamics play a major role in a teen’s well-being, and when stress, conflict, or miscommunication arise, everyone feels the impact. Family therapy creates a structured, supportive space for parents, caregivers, and siblings to come together and work through challenges as a team.

In family therapy, we focus on:

Improving communication and reducing conflict
Finding more effective ways to support your teen
Creating balance between independence and boundaries
Strengthening trust and connection across the family unit
Building collaborative strategies to navigate stressful transitions

Our goal is not to assign blame but to help every family member feel understood, respected, and supported. Together, we create healthier patterns that make home life more compassionate, connected, and sustainable.

Take the Next Step Together

Whether your teen is seeking individual support, or your family is ready to strengthen connections as a unit, therapy can provide the tools and guidance you need to move forward with more confidence and understanding.

Reach out today to schedule a consultation and begin building a healthier path forward, for your teen, for your family, and for your future together.
