THERAPY & COUNSELING SERVICES IN DENVER, CO

In today’s world, teens are overwhelmed with pressures from every angle: teachers, peers, coaches, parents and themselves. When pressures become too much, motivation may decrease and they might struggle with low self-esteem, have emotional outbursts, or turn to alcohol, marijuana or other drugs, and nicotine to cope. Sometimes they may put too much pressure on themselves to do well or look a certain way.


We Help Teens Who Are Overwhelmed and Might Struggle with Low Self-Esteem, Alcohol or Drug Use, Negative Body Image, Anxiety, Depression and Maybe Thoughts of Suicide

We believe that all teens want to do well and when they aren’t doing well or are struggling with school, relationships or activities, something might be up and it’s time to check in with them. Sometimes teens have the vocabulary to describe what’s going on and sometimes they don’t.
