Adolescence can be a tough time- there’s a lot of physical and emotional changes that are going on. Schooling can be stressful along with planning for the future. This pressure can sometimes amount to high feelings of overwhelm or fluctuations in mood. Teens often report feeling misunderstood and therapy can be a space to feel heard, be seen, and work through challenges with curiosity and care.
Interventions for teens often include a blend of talk, expressive, and art interventions to provide a safe space for exploration and work through the tricky feelings that arise.
Bloom & Balance approaches teen therapy through a developmentally affirming lens- offering a safe and private space to explore emotions, build skills, and develop a greater sense of self. Parents are still involved at this stage to ensure continuity while respecting and valuing your teens space.
