Teen Therapy for Emotional

Well-Being & Growth | Full Vida Therapy

Helping Teens Navigate Life’s Challenges with Support & Understanding

Adolescence is a time of emotional ups and downs, academic stress, peer pressure, and self-discovery. Today’s teens face increasing pressures from school, social expectations, family dynamics, and extracurricular activities—including sports and performance-related stress.

If your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-doubt, or life transitions, therapy can provide them with the support and coping skills they need to thrive. At Full Vida Therapy, we are committed to helping teens develop resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Signs Your Teen May Benefit from Therapy

Teen therapy offers a safe, judgment-free space to work through difficulties. Your teen may benefit from therapy if they are experiencing:

✔ Persistent anxiety, worry, or panic attacks
✔ Depression, sadness, or low motivation
✔ Struggles with self-esteem and self-identity
✔ Overwhelming academic or social stress
✔ Difficulty managing emotions or mood swings
✔ Family conflicts or challenges in communication
✔ Risky behaviors or difficulty coping with peer pressure
✔ Athletic performance anxiety or burnout
✔ Challenges with motivation and time management
✔ Difficulty adjusting to major life changes (moving, divorce, school transitions)

If your teen is facing any of these challenges, therapy can offer the guidance and support they need to regain balance and confidence.

Specialized Support for Student-Athletes

Balancing academics and athletics can be overwhelming for student-athletes. High expectations, rigorous training schedules, and the pressure to perform can lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. At Full Vida Therapy, we help young athletes:

✔ Manage Performance Anxiety – Learn strategies to handle competition stress and pre-game nerves.
✔ Prevent Burnout & Balance Responsibilities – Develop time management skills and emotional resilience.
✔ Navigate Identity Beyond Sports – Explore self-worth outside of athletic achievements.
✔ Cope with Injuries & Setbacks – Process the emotional toll of injuries and career uncertainty.

Therapy can help student-athletes maintain both their mental and physical well-being while excelling in their sport and personal life.

Guidance for High-Achieving Teens & Perfectionists

Many teens in high-pressure academic environments struggle with perfectionism, fear of failure, and overwhelming stress. If your teen is constantly pushing themselves but still feels “not good enough,” therapy can help them:

✔ Address Perfectionist Tendencies – Learn to set realistic goals and practice self-compassion.
✔ Manage Academic Pressure – Develop tools for reducing stress related to school, tests, and college prep.
✔ Strengthen Self-Esteem – Build confidence in their abilities beyond grades and achievements.
✔ Create a Healthy Balance – Learn to set boundaries, manage time effectively, and practice self-care.

Therapy helps high-achieving teens redefine success in a way that nurtures both their ambition and mental health.
