How we help
We meet teens where they are. Sessions blend conversation with CBT and DBT skills that actually fit a teenager’s life: managing stress before a test, handling a friend group falling apart, or calming down when everything feels like too much.
Parents are kept in the loop on progress and safety while teens keep the privacy they need to open up. We serve families throughout Johnston and Rhode Island, in person and by video.
What to expect
Many teens are hesitant at first. Our clinicians are warm and practical, and most teens find that having an adult who is fully on their side makes a real difference quickly.
Common questions
Will you tell my parents what I say?
Sessions are private. We share general progress with parents and only break confidentiality if there is a safety concern, which we will always talk with you about first.
Can my teen do therapy online?
Yes. Virtual sessions work well for many teens, and in-person appointments are available in Johnston.
