These support awareness of emotional triggers and teach calming strategies.

Motivational & Behavioral Activation

Supportive Talk Therapy

A safe, confidential environment where teens can voice struggles and build insight.

Therapists work collaboratively with teens to ensure approaches feel supportive and relevant to their experiences.
