Grief & Trauma

Therapy for Teens

Is your teen struggling with grief or trauma?

At LifePath, we understand that teens face unique challenges when dealing with grief and trauma. Our compassionate therapists specialize in helping teens navigate an exploration of grief and trauma that accounts for their individualized experience. At LifePath, we have a holistic approach and consider how grief and trauma might impact mental, physical, relational, emotional, or spiritual well-being. While each therapist brings their own specific training and modalities, some common components of the therapy process may include creating safety, psycho-education, evidence-based skill building, trauma-informed processing, and reparative relational experiences. Our relational attachment approach, grounded in respect and empathy, provides a supportive space for teens to integrate the parts of grief and trauma.
