Therapy for Adolescents
Supporting teens to find their voice — safely and authentically
Adolescence is a time of change, growth, and sometimes confusion. Teens face pressures at school, at home, and with friends — and navigating emotions can feel overwhelming. Treehouse Trauma Centre provides a supportive space where adolescents can explore their thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and gain confidence in themselves.
What adolescent therapy is
Adolescent therapy is a person-centered approach designed specifically for teenagers. Sessions give teens the space to express themselves honestly, explore challenges, and develop emotional resilience. Therapists use a mix of conversation, reflective exercises, and creative approaches tailored to each teen’s needs.
Rather than pushing teens to talk in ways that feel uncomfortable, therapy meets them where they are — letting them take the lead while having a supportive adult guide their growth.
Our approach at Treehouse Trauma Centre
Our therapists create a safe, non-judgmental environment. Sessions are flexible — some teens prefer to meet one-on-one, while others benefit from occasional family involvement. We may integrate creative tools, mindfulness exercises, or guided discussions to support communication and self-expression.
Every teen is unique, and therapy is tailored to their personality, interests, and goals. Our priority is always safety, trust, and autonomy.
