SUPPORT FOR YOUR FAMILY
We provide therapy for adolescents and families in NYC
Navigating the Challenges of Adolescence
With growth comes a certain degree of conflict, making adolescence a turbulent period for both teens and their families. This transitional stage is marked by self-discovery, identity formation, and increasing independence—all while managing academic pressures, social relationships, and the pervasive influence of social media. During this time, emotions often run high, and impulse control is still developing, which can make it difficult for teens to regulate their feelings and make sound decisions.
At Clarity Therapy, we specialize in adolescent therapy to help teens gain insight, develop emotional resilience, and build the skills they need to navigate this critical stage of life. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, social challenges, or family conflicts, our compassionate therapists create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their emotions and learn how to manage life’s complexities.
Specialized Therapy for Teens in NYC
Social Skills for Neurodivergent Teens
Teens with autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent conditions may struggle with social interactions, making it difficult to form meaningful relationships. Our therapy sessions focus on improving communication, understanding social cues, and building confidence in peer settings to help neurodivergent teens navigate friendships and group dynamics.
Coping Skills for Teens with Anxiety or Depression
Anxiety and depression in teens are increasingly common, especially in a high-pressure city like NYC. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among those aged 15-29. 48% of teens experience depressive symptoms. In therapy, we help adolescents develop healthy coping mechanisms, manage overwhelming emotions, and reduce negative thinking patterns through evidence-based therapy approaches.
Executive Functioning Support for Adolescents with ADHD
For teens with ADHD, difficulties with organization, time management, and focus can lead to academic struggles and frustration. Our therapists provide practical strategies to enhance executive functioning skills, helping teens build routines, stay on top of schoolwork, and develop self-discipline to achieve their goals.
Bullying & Cyberbullying Support for Teens
With social media playing such a huge role in teen life, bullying and cyberbullying have become major concerns. Therapy can help teens process their experiences, rebuild self-esteem, and develop assertiveness skills to set boundaries, whether they’re dealing with in-person bullying or online harassment.
Behavioral & Emotional Regulation for Teens
Adolescents often experience intense emotions and impulsive reactions, which can lead to conflicts at home, school, or with peers. Some teens may struggle with outbursts, irritability, anger management, or difficulty calming down when overwhelmed. Our therapy sessions focus on helping teens develop self-awareness, emotional regulation strategies, and impulse control so they can better manage their responses in challenging situations.

Teen Peer Pressure & Risky Behaviors
NYC teens often face pressure to engage in substance use, unhealthy relationships, or other risky behaviors. We provide a judgment-free space where teens can explore their choices, understand the consequences, and learn to stand firm in their values while navigating peer pressure.
Teen Body Image & Disordered Eating Support
Social media and cultural standards can contribute to body image concerns and disordered eating behaviors in teens. Our therapists help adolescents develop a healthy relationship with food, self-acceptance, and body confidence while addressing underlying emotional stressors.
School Anxiety & Avoidance in Teens
Academic stress, social difficulties, and performance pressure can lead to school anxiety and avoidance behaviors. We work with teens to identify the root causes of their stress, build confidence in their abilities, and implement practical strategies to manage school-related anxiety.
College Prep & Transition Therapy for Teens
The transition from high school to college can be overwhelming, particularly for teens struggling with anxiety, executive functioning challenges, or fears about independence. Our college prep therapy helps teens build self-reliance, strengthen coping strategies, and prepare emotionally and academically for this big step.
Teen Self-Esteem & Confidence Building
Low self-esteem can impact every area of a teen’s life, from academics to relationships. Our therapists help teens recognize their strengths, challenge self-doubt, and build confidence so they can approach life’s challenges with resilience and self-assurance.
Supporting Parents and Families
Adolescence doesn’t just impact the teen—it affects the entire family. At Clarity Therapy, we believe in a holistic approach that involves parent coaching and guidance on how to foster a supportive home environment. Our goal is to equip both teens and their families with the tools needed to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and work through challenges together.
