Who Teenage Anxiety Therapy Is For

Teen and child anxiety therapy may be a good fit if your child or teen is:

  • Frequently worried, tense, or fearful

  • Experiencing anxiety related to school, social situations, or performance

  • Avoiding activities, places, or people due to fear or overwhelm

  • Having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or relaxing

  • Showing physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches with no medical cause

  • In need of a therapist for teens or kids with anxiety who feels supportive and approachable

Whether anxiety is new or something your child has been managing for years, therapy can help them feel safer, more confident, and better understood.
