Adolescents who have experienced physical or emotional abuse, or other trauma, can greatly benefit from mental health services, including drug abuse interventions, even if they are not addicted to drugs.
Many teenagers may suffer from symptoms related to painful and traumatic events, such as anxiety, stress, relationship issues, school difficulties, and substance use. Just like adults, adolescents can face mental health and substance use issues.
In the U.S., over 16 percent of children under the age of 18 – or one in six – experience a mental health disorder, including depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Seeking substance use counseling and early intervention is crucial, as it can lead to better long-term outcomes for teens struggling with mental health or substance use issues.
Adolescent Outpatient Counseling Services
We offer assessment, monitoring, and therapy services to support teenagers aged 13–18, providing hope to them and their families. Our mental health services include the involvement of parents, siblings, and other family members, which is essential for helping teenagers develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, we provide opportunities for teen therapy that focuses on their interests, including LGBTQ+ issues, trauma, anxiety, and support.
How to Get Started?
To begin the healing process, the first step is to register and complete insurance forms for a comprehensive evaluation of health history and additional concerns. This assessment includes an orientation for parents, where we can address any inquiries regarding mental health treatment. Assessments are available via phone or video call during our office hours, from 9 am to 7 pm. After the evaluation, our team will collaborate with your teenager and family to identify the most effective treatment strategy. Every treatment plan is tailored to your child's specific needs and objectives. We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic therapies for teens dealing with:
- Anger
- Grief
- Trauma
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance use
- Social Media Issues

Workbooks & Resources
For science-based information on drug use, the National Institute on Drug Abuse offers comprehensive resources. Their publication "Drugs, Brains, and Behavior: The Science of Addiction" provides insights into how addiction affects the brain and behavior, outlining approaches for prevention and treatment. Additionally, the DEA's "Drugs of Abuse" report delivers key information on the effects, potential for overdose, and legal aspects of various drugs. Resources are available that explain how drugs affect brain structure and function, health, and the consequences for the developing brain.
