Therapy for Teens

Experience You Can Trust

I have spent the last 13 years working with high school and college students. At Mark Zaegel Counseling, I provide a supportive and understanding space where teens can navigate life’s difficulties and develop the tools they need to thrive.

Why Teens Might Need Therapy

Adolescents face pressures and stressors that can impact their mental health and well-being. These may include:

Academic stress and performance anxiety
Social challenges, such as peer relationships or bullying
Family conflicts and changing dynamics
Struggles with self-esteem or body image
Anxiety, depression, or mood changes
Navigating identity and self-discovery
Managing the impact of social media and technology

Therapy offers teens a safe, nonjudgmental environment to express their thoughts, process emotions, and build healthy coping strategies.

My Approach to Teen Counseling

As a therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I focus on helping teens understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we work to:

Identify and challenge negative thought patterns
Develop effective problem-solving and communication skills
Build resilience and self-confidence
Learn techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions

Creating a Connection

Establishing trust with teens is essential for meaningful progress in therapy. I take the time to get to know each client and tailor sessions to their unique personality, interests, and needs. My goal is to make therapy a space where teens feel comfortable, heard, and empowered to create positive changes in their lives.

Helping Teens Build a Brighter Future
