Therapy for Teens

Helping Teens Find Balance, Confidence, and Joy—With a Fun and Youthful Approach

As a parent, watching your teen struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or social challenges can feel overwhelming. You want to help, but it can be hard to know where to start. At Heart of Oak Psychotherapy, we specialize in therapy for teens that doesn’t just address the tough issues—they actually enjoy coming to their sessions! We’ve created a space where teens feel comfortable, connected, and even have fun while working through their challenges.

A Youthful Approach That Connects with Teens

We understand that teens often feel misunderstood by adults, especially when it comes to therapy. That’s why at Heart of Oak Psychotherapy, we do things differently. Our approach is youthful, down-to-earth, and even a little goofy. We know how to connect with teens on their level, making therapy a space where they can open up, laugh, and express themselves without feeling judged.

In fact, many teens tell us that they actually enjoy coming back week after week. We make therapy engaging and relatable, using humor and genuine connection to break down walls and build trust. Therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore—it can be a safe place where your teen feels supported and understood.

Issues We Help Teens Tackle

Being a teenager today comes with unique challenges, from social pressures to academic stress and everything in between. At Heart of Oak Psychotherapy, we help teens navigate the complex world they live in, offering support for a wide range of issues:

Anxiety & Depression: Whether it’s social anxiety, performance pressure, or general feelings of sadness and isolation, we help teens learn coping strategies that improve their mental health and emotional well-being.
ADHD & Learning Disabilities: As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, I understand the unique struggles these challenges bring. I mastered both through therapy and I’m here to help your teen do the same, empowering them with tools to manage their symptoms and succeed in school and life.
Impulse Control & Behavioral Issues: Teens often struggle with controlling impulses, whether it’s acting out at school or making decisions that don’t align with their values. We help teens understand their behavior and learn techniques to make better choices.
Peer & Family Relationships: Navigating friendships, romantic relationships, and family dynamics can be tough for teens. We support them in developing healthy communication skills and resolving conflicts with those around them.
School & Academic Stress: From exam anxiety to falling behind in school, we help teens handle the pressures of academics, while building the confidence and focus needed to thrive.
Life Transitions & Divorce: Whether it’s adjusting to new schools, changes in friendships, or dealing with family divorce, we help teens navigate these big transitions in healthy, productive ways.

No matter what your teen is facing, we’re here to support them. Our goal is to not only address the current issues but to equip your teen with skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Therapy That’s Fun, Relatable, and Effective

Feel Confident about who they are.

A Personal Connection to ADHD and Learning Disabilities

As the founder of Heart of Oak Psychotherapy, I know firsthand the challenges of ADHD and dyslexia. I grew up struggling in school and feeling different from my peers. It was through therapy that I learned how to manage my ADHD and thrive, and I’m passionate about helping teens do the same. I understand the frustration, but I also know the power of building strategies that work. Therapy helped me find my path, and I believe it can help your teen too.
