Therapy for Teens in Hermosa Beach, CA

At Beach Cities Psychotherapy, we provide Therapy for Teens by meeting them where they are. We strive to create a relationship that fosters trust and growth.

The teenage years can be a challenge both for parents and teenagers as teenagers’ brains undergo intense change particularly in the prefrontal cortex which controls their impulsivity and judgement.

They are children who need and want their parents; they are also individuating and want absolutely nothing to do with their parents. It’s confusing for them and often confusing for parents as well.

Parents often worry about their teenagers and it’s understandable. The changes happening in the teenage brain are hard to grasp, both for teens and their parents.

Our therapists provide a safe space for teens to explore social struggles, anxiety, depression, and issues of individuation and identity as well as the stressors around balancing academics, extra-curricular activities, college applications, and plans for the future.

The teenage years can be challenging and sometimes it helps teenagers to have a place to process their feelings and build healthy coping skills.

Our goal in working with teenagers is to cultivate the tools they need to thrive and navigate relationships at home, within their family, and with peers so that they have a solid foundation as they transition into adulthood.
