Orlando Teen Counseling & Adolescent Therapy

Orlando Teen Counselors at GroundWork are committed to helping your teen and your family during this potentially difficult developmental stage.

Is your teenager withdrawn, sad, lonely, depressed, or anxious?  Are they socializing with an undesirable peer group, or engaging in negative behaviors?  Does your teen have trouble fitting in, regulating their emotions, or suffer from low self-esteem?  Is your teen unmotivated or underperforming in school? Or, is perfectionism and anxiety causing significant distress in your teens life?

You’re not alone.  Teenagers and parents today are dealing with unprecedented levels of pressure and stress, which can be particularly challenging for both teens and their families. At Groundwork we have therapists that specialize in, and exclusively work with children and adolescents. We provide evidence-based CBT therapy, helping your teen learn an an invaluable skillset so they can restructure their thoughts, regain emotional control, and improve their overall wellbeing. 

How Can Counseling Help Your Teen?

At GroundWork, we specialize in working with teens struggling with OCD, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, School Refusal, Specific Phobias, Panic Attacks, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Because the main feature that keeps anxiety going is avoidance of a feared situation, our therapists help your child to challenge this avoidance with a step-by-step method that gradually exposes them to the situation or thing they fear, helping your teen to grow in confidence each time.

Teen counselors at Groundwork also work with teens struggling with ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, depression, defiance, anger, substance-use, peer challenges, self-harm, social-media overuse, school challenges, family relationship problems, adjustment to family divorce, and behavioral problems. Teens are often open to accepting help from a trustworthy adult in a safe environment where it can be  easier for them to discuss complicated issues and feelings they may not feel comfortable sharing with parents.

Utilizing a cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach our child therapists can help teens discover their unhelpful beliefs and actions, and make lasting change. CBT can help teenagers develop better judgment, and healthier decision-making skills, so they can begin to consider future goals and plans and live a more balanced life.

Orlando Teen Therapists at Groundwork encourage positive change, and help teens begin to interact with themselves, their emotions, and their families in healthy ways once again. We’re here to help.
