Are you a teen feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed by fears and worries?

Our teen anxiety counseling specialists at LifePath Therapy Associates are here to help. Adolescence comes with its unique challenges, and factors like genetics, past experiences, and daily stress can contribute to heightened anxiety. It might be hard to understand why you’re feeling this way, and the pressure of school, relationships, and the challenges of the world can make it even more overwhelming. Worry is frequently an attempt to control what feels overwhelming or uncontrollable, and this is particularly a challenge for teens who often don’t feel that they have agency or power over their lives. In working with one of our adolescent therapists, you will be supported in understanding your anxiety and developing tools to feel less overwhelmed, worried, and stressed.
