Therapy for Teens Navigating Change, Stress, and Self-Identity in Warren, MI
Compassionate psychodynamic therapy for adolescents facing anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and emotional overwhelm. Safe space. Real connection.
Helping Teens Navigate Emotional Ups and Downs
Teenagers are balancing internal changes, shifting identities, academic stress, social pressure, and often—silent struggles. At Wuerth Care Psychodynamic Therapy LLC, we offer a grounded, non-judgmental space where teens can express themselves, unpack emotional pain, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Whether your teen is withdrawing, lashing out, feeling anxious, or dealing with trauma, therapy helps them make sense of their emotions while building emotional strength and self-awareness.
Exploring the “Why” Behind Emotions and Behaviors
Psychodynamic therapy dives beneath surface-level symptoms to help teens understand the emotional patterns and unconscious thoughts driving their behavior. We don’t just treat the symptom—we explore what’s underneath.
Through honest conversations and a therapeutic relationship built on trust, we help teens work through:
Anxiety and perfectionism
Depression or low self-worth
Identity and self-esteem struggles
Grief, trauma, or loss
School pressure and peer conflict
Family tension or communication breakdowns
This approach supports teens in forming emotional insight that lasts well into adulthood.
Supportive Involvement - Balanced with Confidentiality
We recognize the importance of family in a teen’s healing journey. While sessions are confidential to protect your teen’s trust, we maintain open lines of communication with parents when needed—especially in situations involving safety, progress, or emotional red flags.
During the intake process, we collaborate with caregivers to understand your teen’s history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Our approach respects both teen autonomy and caregiver insight.
