We understand teen issues...At Playa Vista Counseling, we understand the unique challenges of the adolescent years. The pressures and constant challenges placed on teens today is unlike anything seen in the past, and we provide a space for mindful reflection, growth and positive change. Our therapists are trained and experienced in working with teens who are experiencing difficulty with anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship or family concerns and other mental health concerns. We often hear from parents and teens that our therapists are easy to talk to and are able to naturally connect with their clients, even those who are less open to coming to therapy. Additionally, parents appreciate the opportunity for their teens to connect with positive, ethical and caring professionals. In providing therapy for teens, we build a safe and confidential relationship in order for change to take place. Parent involvement depends on age, desire of the teen as well as level of danger, but in general we keep information shared in session private in order to build trust between our teen clients and their therapist. Teen therapy is a judgement-free zone, which can sometimes be very different than what adolescents experience in almost every other part of their life, such as at school, home and in their friendships.
We can work collaboratively with other professionals and provide referrals when necessary to address larger concerns.
