Therapy Shouldn’t Take Years to Work
✔ They’re anxious, overwhelmed, and shut down easily.
Every little thing feels like a crisis — for anxious teens, even everyday stress can be too much. The symptoms of anxiety often show up physically—headaches, fatigue, stomachaches—and many parents miss these early signs of anxiety in teenagers.
✔ They have big emotions but don’t know how to handle them. Emotional regulation feels impossible. Whether it’s meltdowns, outbursts, or completely shutting down, their nervous system is in constant overdrive.
✔ They overthink everything.
Social anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt keep them stuck in their heads instead of enjoying life.
✔ They resist talking about their feelings.
You’ve tried asking what’s wrong, but all you get is “I don’t know.”
Traditional talk therapy hasn’t helped. They need a different approach—something like DBT or EMDR that gets beneath the surface.

You’re in the right place if your kid struggles with:
