Teen therapy
For teens who are figuring it out.
Adolescence is hard. Teen therapy at Heyoka gives young people a space that's genuinely theirs — to process, to be honest, and to build the tools they'll carry forward.
Teens need a space that isn't about their parents.
Adolescence is one of the most intense periods of psychological development — and one of the loneliest. Teens are navigating identity, relationships, academic pressure, and a world that moves fast. They need support that takes them seriously.
Our clinicians who work with teens know how to build real trust with young people. Sessions are confidential (within legal limits), teen-led, and free from the pressure to perform or please. Parents are kept informed in ways that protect the therapeutic relationship.
How we work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and the thought spirals that come with adolescence.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills
Emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness — skills that actually transfer to real life.
Strengths-based approaches
Building on what teens already have rather than focusing exclusively on deficits.
Family involvement (when appropriate)
Bringing parents in strategically — to improve communication and reduce conflict without undermining the teen's autonomy.
What we commonly work with
A note for parents
We know it can feel vulnerable to hand your teenager over to someone else. We take that trust seriously. We'll keep you informed about your teen's progress and safety while protecting the confidentiality that makes therapy work for young people.
Let's find the right fit.
Reach out and tell us a bit about your teen. We'll help you find the clinician who's the best match.
