We recognize the current shortage of mental health providers and will prioritize getting your teen in for therapy as soon as possible.

Teens face enormous pressures at a time in their life when their resources and tools for coping are limited. We provide a safe place for teens to explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns while addressing the specific issues they are facing during this critical developmental stage. Here’s what to expect from teen therapy at ARI:

ARI has therapists who specialize in a range of issues for teens including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, pornography/gaming/internet/substance addiction, and other concerns. Teen therapy can be particularly helpful during significant life transitions, such as changes in school, family dynamics, or friendships.

In order to build trust, teen therapy is confidential, which means that what is discussed during sessions remains private between the teen and the therapist, except in specific situations pertaining to safety concerns. The therapist communicates regularly with the parent to gain insight on the specific needs of the teen from the parent’s perspective, to share plans pertaining to safety, and to make recommendations for improving parent-child relationships.
