We get it — teens aren’t always excited about starting therapy.

Many come in unsure, guarded, or simply tired of being asked to “talk about their feelings.” That’s why our approach meets them where they are.

At Willow Lane, we use developmentally appropriate, attachment-focused, trauma-informed treatment that incorporates play and expressive therapies. These approaches give teens creative, low-pressure ways to express themselves, regulate emotions, and engage in the work at their own pace. Even teens who are resistant often find that expressive therapy feels more natural and less intimidating.

We also believe parents and caregivers are essential partners in the process. Throughout treatment, we provide guidance and strategies to help you feel supported and empowered as you navigate this stage alongside your teen.

We support teens experiencing:

  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Depression

  • Grief and loss

  • Trauma | EMDR

  • Challenges related to separation or divorce

  • Behavioral and emotional concerns
