Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Teens

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical and hands-on approach that helps teens tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors head-on. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recognizes this form of therapy as a potent tool for managing many mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

At HWP, we’re firm believers in the power of CBT. We’ve seen how it can equip our young clients with the tools they need to improve their emotional health. It’s not just about resolving present problems but also about fostering skills that will serve them well into adulthood. Our experienced therapists are skilled in applying CBT techniques in a teen-friendly way, making therapy sessions not just productive, but also engaging and meaningful.

Through family therapy, we aim to create a more supportive home environment where teens can thrive. Our goal is to make the family a strong pillar of support for the teen’s emotional growth.
