A Space Where Teens Can Just Be Themselves
We offer a safe space where teens can express themselves authentically, no diagnosis or crisis required.
What is Individual Teen Therapy?
Teen therapy is about creating a space that's truly just for your teenager, somewhere they can explore who they're becoming without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.
It's honest conversations, real connection, and affirming care for teens navigating one of life's most complex periods.
At Alba Wellness Group, we welcome all teens, especially those who may not always feel reflected in traditional therapy spaces. That includes teens of color, LGBTQ+ youth, and those who simply want a space to talk, reflect, and grow on their own terms. We believe support should be accessible, affirming, and non-judgmental.
Our approach is centered on trust, connection, and respect.
OUR APPROACH TO INDIVIDUAL TEEN THERAPY
Every teen is different, so we personalize therapy to fit your teen's style and comfort level. Some talk it out, some explore through creative expression, some start slow, and that's all perfectly okay.
What we offer:
✔ Teen-led goals and pacing
✔ Individual weekly sessions (in-person or virtual)
✔ Support without pathologizing normal teen experiences
✔ Optional parent/caregiver check-ins when appropriate
✔ Culturally responsive care that honors all identities
We prioritize creating a space where teens from marginalized communities feel respected, supported, and free to show up fully as themselves, without needing to explain or justify who they are.
