Why Teen and Young Adult Therapy in Orange County?
Ditch negative, unfulfilling relationships. Find peace.
We specialize in helping teens and young adults navigate the past and have healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Many teens struggle as you do. Despite being hard working, passionate, and talented; life is hard. When our clients first come in, they may struggle to voice their needs in relationships. Often, they have a hard time even recognizing what it is that they need. They feel frustrated and conflicted with loved ones, trapped in a maze of self-doubt that makes it difficult to accept genuine support and love from those closest to them. Their past experiences get in the way of the life they want. They aren’t the kind of partner, friend, or family member they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at being their best selves. Their confidence is tanking.
Young adults often fear that being “bad” or “unlovable” is just “who they are.” It’s not uncommon to feel skeptical about the promise of meaningful relationships and self-acceptance. However, everyone deserves to feel loved, to revel in fulfilling relationships, and to view themselves with pride and confidence.
Establishing healthy boundaries and cultivating a positive view of yourself is not only possible — it’s an attainable reality. If you’re looking to break free from the chains of the past and embrace a brighter present, we are here to support you.
