TEEN THERAPY
Therapy for teens ages 12–19 in Scarsdale, Park Slope and online across New York.
The teen years bring big changes: more independence, more pressure, and big questions about identity, friendships and the future. When anxiety, low mood, school stress or conflict at home start to take over, therapy gives your teen a space that is truly theirs.
Our teen therapists are warm, direct and easy to talk to. We draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT skills and ACT, and we keep parents in the loop so the whole family feels supported.

Your teen used to talk to you. Now it feels like you can’t reach them.
Maybe they’re anxious, irritable or shut away in their room. Grades are slipping, sleep is off, or a friendship, relationship or something online is weighing on them.
You’ve tried asking, giving space and setting limits, and you’re still worried about what’s really going on.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Parents Come to Us When…

They’re pulling away, sleeping more or losing interest in things
Grades, workload or college pressure feel like too much
Friendships, dating or social media are causing stress
Arguments at home have become constant
They’re asking big questions about who they are
A move, loss or divorce has been hard to bounce back from
How Teen Therapy Helps
Teens open up when they trust that therapy is theirs. Sessions are one-on-one, and what your teen shares stays private, with clear exceptions for safety that we explain to everyone at the start.
Depending on your teen’s needs, we use CBT for anxiety and negative thinking, DBT skills for big emotions, ACT, and practical tools for stress, sleep and school pressure. Some families also benefit from family sessions.
Parents stay in the loop. We check in with you along the way, share the big-picture goals, and give you tools for the hard moments at home.
After Therapy, Teens Often…
Feel less overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood
Handle school stress and big emotions with better tools
Have fewer blowups and more real conversations at home
Find friendships and relationships easier to navigate
Feel more confident in who they are
Therapy helps teens build skills they’ll carry into college and adulthood, and helps parents feel confident and supported instead of alone.
