Adolescents / Teenagers
The teenage years bring big changes — new pressures at school, shifting friendships, questions about identity, and growing independence. It’s a season of life where emotions can feel intense, and it’s not always easy to know when normal ups and downs cross into something that needs extra support. Many teens struggle silently, unsure how to talk about what they’re feeling, or worried about being judged or misunderstood by the adults around them.Everyone feels low from time to time, so it’s not always easy to know when it is part-and-parcel of daily life, and when it’s time to seek help. In most cases, it is short-term and self-correcting, but for a significant minority this is not the case. For those individuals, it is important to seek treatment just as you would any other health condition. Here we discuss six warning signs which, together, might indicate that it’s time to seek professional help.
Having a safe, non-judgmental space to talk can make a real difference during these formative years.
Treatment Process
Care for adolescents ages 13–17 is built around where they are — academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we explore what’s going on beneath the surface, whether it’s anxiety, mood changes, ADHD, or the stress of everyday teenage life, and build practical coping tools that fit their world.Your age, the duration of your symptoms, having a family history of depression, and co-occurring mental or physical health difficulties might all affect your prognosis. Some researchers believe that there is evidence for a ‘scarring’ effect, where the likelihood of suffering from a relapse in depression increases with the number of episodes you have already had. There is also an increased risk of suicide associated with severe depression.
Sessions are conducted securely via tele-health, making it easier for teens to open up from a space where they already feel comfortable — with ongoing support for the whole family.
