A supportive place for teens to talk through what feels difficult, at a pace that feels manageable.
Adolescence can bring changes that are hard to explain and even harder to carry alone. Teen therapy offers a steady, nonjudgmental place to talk about anxiety, school stress, self-esteem, family conflict, friendships, identity, and the emotional pressure of growing up.
Teens may come in because anxiety feels overwhelming, school has become stressful, friendships feel complicated, emotions are hard to regulate, or life at home has become tense. Therapy makes room to talk through what is happening without expecting a teen to have the right words immediately.

A relationship built on respect
The work begins with listening. A therapist can help a teen notice patterns, build language for what they are feeling, and find practical ways to navigate relationships, transitions, and pressures with more steadiness.
03
Care that can fit family life
In-person teen therapy is available in Greenwich. Telehealth may also be available throughout Connecticut when clinically and legally appropriate. Reduced-fee sessions with supervised graduate clinicians are available at $50 per session.
Common questions
A few things you may be wondering.
What can teen therapy help with?
Teen therapy can make room for anxiety, school stress, self-esteem, family conflict, social pressure, emotional regulation, identity development, life transitions, and the concerns a young person may not know how to raise elsewhere.
How do parents fit into the process?
The right level of family involvement depends on the teen, the concern, and clinical judgment. Therapy can provide a place for a teen’s experience while helping families communicate with more care when that is useful.
Is there an affordable option?
Yes. Reduced-fee therapy with supervised graduate clinicians is available at $50 per session.
