Is your teen excelling in school but secretly struggling with anxiety? High-functioning anxiety in teens often goes unnoticed because they appear successful—straight A’s, packed schedules, and a drive for perfection. But beneath the surface, they may be battling constant stress, fear of failure, and an inability to relax. EMDR therapy can help teens break free from the cycle of academic pressure, reframe limiting beliefs, and build healthier coping skills. Keep reading to learn how EMDR works, how to support your teen at home, and when professional help may be the right next step.

Does your teen perform flawlessly in practice but freeze up when it matters most? Performance anxiety can hold kids back in sports, theater, academics, and beyond—but it doesn’t have to.
