Teen Therapy
By the time you reach out about a teen, you have usually been watching something for a while.
In-person in Rockville and Silver Spring, or by telehealth across Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, Louisiana, and Washington State.
Who this is for
A face that has learned to give you nothing.
Teen therapy at Enrichment Wellness is for adolescents roughly twelve to nineteen, and for the parents trying to read a face that has learned to give them nothing.
It tends to be one of a few familiar situations.
The teen who keeps saying “I’m fine.”
Most teens do not walk in announcing they need therapy. They say “I’m fine” until the structure of “fine” cracks. The slammed door. The withdrawn dinner. The friend group that fractured and pulled the floor out with it. The grades that have not crashed yet, but the spark dimmed.
The teen running an inner critic louder than anyone in the house.
Perfectionism that arrived young. Social comparison that runs all day on the phone. The voice in their head that says nobody actually wants to know what is underneath.
The teen carrying something they will not bring home.
A friend’s disclosure. A hard breakup. A coming-out conversation they have not had yet. A school stressor bigger than the school can name. Territory teens need somewhere to bring that is not their own family.
The parent in the doorway.
You can see something is off. You have been seeing it for weeks. You do not know whether to push or back off, and the not-knowing has its own weight.
The work
What the work looks like
Teen therapy here is weekly, fifty minutes, in-person at our Rockville or Silver Spring offices or by telehealth across Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, Louisiana, and Washington State. A teen who walks in expecting to be talked at usually shuts down, so our clinicians start by listening, slowly, in language a fifteen-year-old can actually recognize.
Internal Family Systems for the inner critic that has been running the show. The part that performs okay all day at school. The part that disappears at home. The part that has been waiting a long time to be heard.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and how to hold two true things at once.
CBT for the thought loops that have worn a groove, and ACT for values-based action when motivation is thin.
Mindfulness for the knot in the stomach and the racing mind at eleven at night.
Plain language. Real tools. Nothing that feels like a worksheet from health class.
What changes
The teen who said “I’m fine” starts saying something else.
They find words for what used to be only behavior. They develop tools they actually use when the moment is hot. The friend group has a name they can work with. The inner critic gets quieter. You stop guessing what is going on, and the dinner table feels different on a Tuesday in October than it did in August.
They are moving, which is the only measure that matters here.
Privacy
What gets shared with you, and what doesn’t.
What your teen says in session stays between your teen and their clinician. That privacy is what makes the work possible. A teen who thinks their words will be repeated at the dinner table will not bring the real material into the room.
You will know:
- Safety concerns. Always. If your teen is at risk, you will be looped in.
- General themes and progress, in age-appropriate terms.
- Skills your teen is learning, so you can support them at home.
- Recommendations if family sessions or a higher level of care would help.
The clinician will talk with you and your teen together about how communication works in your specific case.
Who you’d work with
Our teen-specializing clinicians.
We will match your teen to the clinician whose style fits.
