Teen & Young Adult Therapy

in Costa Mesa, CA

Virtual Therapy Available Throughout California

Teens often need an additional space to work through their own experiences. With endless transitions and pressures, teens attempt to find who they are and who they want to become while they try to make sense of their life thus far. Guided Minds offers therapy specifically for teens and young adults in Costa Mesa, California, with virtual sessions available throughout California.

You Might Be Looking for Support For Your Teen If…

~ you’ve noticed them isolating, not having as much fun as they used to, or aren’t going to school

~ you feel like you don’t understand them even when you’re trying your hardest to

~ it feels like no matter what you try, they keep pulling away

~ you’re wanting them to obtain the skills they might need in their next transition (specifically for independence in college)

~ you know they’ve experienced some difficult family or friend experiences they might want to talk to another adult about

Parenting is never done alone, everyone needs support supporting their kids

Teens Might Be Feeling…

I may not have “adult problems” — but it sure does feel like a lot

What Will We Do?

Therapy looks different for everyone, and teens are no different. In our sessions, we will get to know each other and what you’re looking to see change.

I typically focus on helping my teens: understand themselves and others, make sense of their experiences, increase their ability to communicate and advocate for themselves, add some coping skills, and process those events that continue to hold them back.

Family involvement is welcomed, but not always necessary. I always want my teens to better their relationships with friends and family to gain more support in daily life.
