When Your Teen’s World Feels Shattered
Your teen’s world has been shattered by trauma, and you’re watching them slip further away.
The silence is deafening, the outbursts are sudden, and the distance between you grows each day. You feel helpless, unsure how to reach them or ease their pain.
Every interaction feels like walking on eggshells. The fear and uncertainty are overwhelming, and you wonder if things will ever feel normal again. The pain of this distance is unbearable—but you’re not alone.
Trauma impacts every part of a teen’s life, from relationships to school performance to emotional well-being.
Whether they’ve faced a single traumatic event or ongoing stress, our trauma therapy offers a safe space for them to process their feelings and heal.
Through therapies like Brainspotting, along with other evidence-based approaches, we help your teen release trauma and rediscover their strength.
Understanding Teen Trauma
Teen trauma isn’t always easy to recognize. It may show up as anxiety, depression, or withdrawal.
Physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or muscle tension can also indicate trauma.
Some teens may act out with anger, engage in risky behaviors, or isolate themselves. Others may avoid situations that remind them of the trauma.
Each teen’s experience is unique. Without support, trauma continues to affect emotional, physical, and social well-being.
Our compassionate, strength-based approach helps teens process their trauma at their own pace in a safe, nurturing environment
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a powerful therapy that uses eye positions, or “brainspots,” to help your teen process trauma at a deeper level.
By identifying these spots, we access the areas of the brain that store unresolved trauma, allowing your teen to release deep emotions safely.
Brainspotting reaches parts of the brain that other therapies may not, facilitating profound healing for those affected by trauma.
The Ways Therapy Can Support Your Teen’s Healing Journey
Healing trauma is a process of rebuilding emotional safety, self-worth, and resilience. Our therapy supports this by focusing on the following:
- Safe, Empathetic Space: We create a judgment-free environment where your teen can express their emotions and feel heard.
- Personalized Treatment: Every teen’s trauma is unique. We tailor our approach to fit your teen’s specific needs, ensuring they receive the right support.
- Holistic Healing: Alongside Brainspotting, we integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and promote emotional regulation.
- Building Resilience: Through therapy, your teen develops the tools they need to manage stress, face challenges, and move forward with confidence.
- Family Support: We guide you in supporting your teen at home, ensuring that healing continues beyond therapy and strengthens family relationships.
What to Expect in Therapy
Teen trauma therapy is a gradual, healing journey.
Your teen will begin with an initial assessment to understand their experiences and goals.
From there, therapy will focus on processing difficult emotions through structured sessions that help rebuild trust and emotional safety.
Throughout the process, your teen will learn coping skills, tools for emotional regulation, and how to manage trauma triggers.
While healing doesn’t happen overnight, our approach ensures that your teen will begin to feel more connected to themselves and others as they move through therapy.
By the end of therapy, your teen will have gained lasting tools to continue thriving. These skills will empower them to face future challenges with resilience and confidence.
