What This Can Help With:
How We Support Teenagers
Teen therapy is a supportive, judgment-free space where adolescents can talk openly about what they’re going through. Sessions are designed to meet teens where they are—whether that’s feeling overwhelmed by school stress, struggling with friendships, or trying to understand big emotions that feel hard to control. Our therapists use approaches like EMDR, DBT skills, and attachment-focused therapy to help teens develop healthy coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and build emotional resilience. Therapy for teens is collaborative and engaging, not intimidating or overly clinical.
How EMDR Can Support Teenagers
EMDR therapy can be especially powerful for teens because it helps the brain process difficult experiences in a gentle, structured way. Many teens carry stress from bullying, family conflict, academic pressure, social struggles, or past trauma that continues to affect how they feel about themselves today.
EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity connected to those memories so teens can feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. Instead of just talking about problems, EMDR allows teens to heal at a deeper level, improving anxiety, mood, self-esteem, and emotional regulation in a way that often feels faster and more effective than traditional talk therapy alone.
-
Yes. While therapy may not eliminate pain entirely, it can significantly reduce emotional distress, stress related flare ups, and the nervous system tension that often worsens pain. Trauma informed therapy helps you build coping tools, improve regulation, and feel more supported in your body.
-
Many people with chronic pain have experienced medical trauma, injury, surgery, or long periods of feeling dismissed or unheard. These experiences can keep the nervous system activated, increasing pain sensitivity, anxiety, and exhaustion over time.

EMDR helps process the emotional and nervous system impact of pain and medical experiences rather than focusing on pain itself. By reducing the body’s stress response, EMDR can support pain management, emotional relief, and improved quality of life.

No. Therapy can be helpful even when the cause of pain is unclear or ongoing. We focus on how pain affects your nervous system, emotions, and daily functioning, meeting you where you are.
-
