Teen Therapy in Altamonte Springs

Supportive, Safe, and Real — Helping Teens Thrive at New Light Counseling

Navigating the Teen Years Isn’t Easy — Therapy Can Help

Adolescence is a time of big emotions, identity exploration, social pressures, and life changes. It’s normal for teens to feel overwhelmed — but they don’t have to go through it alone. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or school and family stress, therapy offers a safe space to sort through it all.

At New Light Counseling in Altamonte Springs, we provide compassionate, affirming teen therapy that meets young people right where they are — without judgment and without pressure.

Signs Your Teen May Benefit from Therapy

Mood swings, irritability, or withdrawal
Anxiety or constant worry
Sadness, lack of motivation, or hopelessness
Difficulty in friendships or relationships
Struggles at school or with focus
Identity or self-esteem concerns
Substance use or risky behaviors
Self-harm or thoughts of suicide

These symptoms can feel scary for both teens and parents — but with the right support, they are treatable. Therapy can offer tools, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.
