Empower Your Mind and Spirit

Adolescence is a season of profound change—emotionally, relationally, and internally.

Teens are learning who they are, how they relate to others, and how to navigate a world

that often feels overwhelming and uncertain. Even strong, capable adolescents can find

themselves struggling during this time.

At Rise and Restore Counseling, adolescent therapy offers a safe, supportive space

where teens can slow down, feel understood, and begin to discover who they are in a

healthy, authentic way. Therapy is not just about fixing behavior—it’s about helping

adolescents feel seen, supported, and empowered as they grow.

Many teens carry pressures they don’t yet have the words to explain. They may feel

misunderstood, emotionally isolated, anxious, or unsure of where they belong. Others

are navigating loss, trauma, family changes, or transitions that feel destabilizing.

Therapy helps adolescents:

• Develop emotional awareness and regulation
• Build confidence and a stronger sense of identity
• Learn healthy ways to express needs and set boundaries
• Navigate relationships with peers, family, and authority figures
• Strengthen resilience and coping skills during stressful seasons

Sessions are paced with care, honoring each teen’s readiness, comfort level, and

individuality.

Adolescent counseling at Rise and Restore Counseling supports teens experiencing

concerns such as:

• Anxiety, panic, or chronic worry
• Depression, anger, or emotional withdrawal
• Identity and self-esteem challenges
• Social stress, peer conflict, or bullying
• Family conflict, divorce, or changes at home
• Grief, loss, or trauma
• Academic pressure or burnout
• Difficulty with boundaries or emotional regulation

Each adolescent’s experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to meet them where they are.

Treatment may integrate evidence-based and relational approaches, including:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps teens understand and regulate emotions while strengthening emotional safety and connection.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Supports teens in recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and developing healthier ways of thinking and responding.
• Bowenian Family Therapy: Helps explore family dynamics, boundaries, and relational patterns that impact adolescent well-being.
• EMDR: Supports teens in processing overwhelming or traumatic experiences in a safe, developmentally appropriate way.

When appropriate, parent involvement is thoughtfully integrated to support the teen

while respecting their autonomy and privacy.

At its core, adolescent therapy is about helping teens reconnect with their inner voice,

values, and strengths. For those who desire it, therapy can gently integrate faith,

intuition, and reflection—supporting teens in exploring meaning, purpose, and hope

alongside emotional growth.

Adolescents don’t need to have everything figured out. They just need a safe place to

begin.

If your teen is struggling or going through a difficult season, you don’t have to navigate

this alone. Adolescent counseling at Rise and Restore Counseling offers

compassionate support for both teens and families as they move toward greater

understanding, stability, and growth.
