What to look for in a teen therapist
Therapy for teenagers isn't just adult therapy scaled down. Adolescents are navigating a specific set of pressures — academic stress, social media, shifting friendships, identity and sexuality, family conflict, and the neurological changes of a still-developing brain. A therapist who works well with teens knows how to build trust with a guarded 15-year-old, balance the teen's need for privacy with a parent's need to stay informed, and meet a young person where they are rather than lecturing them.
The providers on this page in West Palm Beach list adolescents among the ages they treat. Common reasons families reach out include anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, disordered eating, trauma, and behavioral changes. When you contact a provider, it's worth asking about their experience with your teen's specific concern, how they involve parents, and whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions — many teens open up more easily over video from their own room.
