Adolescent Therapy
The teenage years can be a time of growth, self-discovery, and change—but they can also bring challenges. At Minnesota Renewal, our Adolescent Therapy services provide a safe and supportive environment where teens can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience for the future.
A Safe Space for Growth
Teens need a non-judgmental space where they feel heard and understood. Our therapists create a trusting and respectful environment where adolescents can express themselves freely and work toward a healthier, more confident future.
How Adolescent Therapy Can Help
Adolescents face unique emotional and psychological challenges. Therapy can support them in managing:
Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
Stress from school, social pressures, and future planning
Low self-esteem and self-worth
Peer relationships and social challenges
Family conflicts and communication difficulties
Identity exploration and self-acceptance
Trauma, grief, and major life transitions
Our Approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Teaching emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helping teens recognize and reframe negative thought patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Encouraging goal-setting and positive change.
