Teen Therapy in St. Louis
Successful,
Stressed Out Teens
Even successful teenagers have a hard time. We help teens lower their stress levels and come up with a real plan for managing their overwhelming emotions.
You know your teen is having a hard time.
They get overwhelmed with school, even when they’re doing well. You know they’re going to go to a great college, and yet they melt down whenever it’s time to make a decision. They seem angry and stressed out, but you know they’re just on the defensive because something is feeling really overwhelming. You want to help, but you don’t know how - and it almost feels like they’re not ready to let you.
Many times, our avoidant, even academically successful teens are experiencing high levels of anxiety.
Their high-achieving nature may mean that they're perfectionists as well - and then, their fear of failure gets in the way of making time for connecting with you. They'd rather close in on themselves than reach out.
That’s why it’s so important to find a teen therapist who loves to work with teenagers, and really knows how to connect.
Your teen is probably used to keeping things to themselves, and keeping other people OUT. We’re ready to put in the work to help your teen finally open up.
CBT Anxiety Therapy for Teenagers helps treat Anxiety, Anger, and Overwhelm.
By focusing on helping your teen build skills to manage their anxiety, anger, stress, and overwhelm, we teach them what to do instead of exploding.
We also know how important it is for teens to feel like they really connect with their therapist. That’s why we’ve put together a team of professionals who focus on how best to connect with you and your teen. We tailor our approach to you!
The Process:
-
1.
We build relaxation skills to help your teen manage their stress.
-
2.
We dig in to what’s going on underneath the surface.
-
3.
We take a step back to explore what might be getting in their way.
-
4.
And then, together, we figure out the plan to help them move forward.

Teen Therapist Molly Shaffer
As senior therapist at Compassionate Counseling St. Louis, I love helping anxious teens build the skills they need to make real, lasting change. After therapy with me, clients report feeling less stress, and more prepared to face the challenges that come their way.
