Therapy for Teenagers

Compassionate, Trauma-Informed Therapy for Teens in Marin County & Online

The teenage years can be an exciting time — but they can also be overwhelming. Teens often face stress from school, friendships, social media, identity development, family dynamics, and life transitions. Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm are common, and teens may struggle to express what they’re feeling or ask for help.

At Juniper & Jade Psychotherapy, we provide trauma-informed therapy for teenagers to help them navigate these challenges, build emotional resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. Our therapists create a safe, supportive environment where teens feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Who We Work With

We support teenagers dealing with:

  • Anxiety, worry, and school-related stress

  • Depression, low motivation, or sadness

  • Emotional regulation difficulties or mood swings

  • Social challenges, peer pressure, or friendship conflicts

  • Trauma, grief, or attachment concerns

  • Identity, self-esteem, and body image challenges

  • Family conflicts, parental separation, or blended family adjustments

  • Life transitions such as moving, changing schools, or preparing for college
