This page lists Teen Family Therapists in Los Angeles. 7 in all.
How therapy with teenagers works, and what stays confidential
A therapist shapes the work to the teenager's age. It is not adult therapy cut short.
Physical, emotional and social change in adolescence can make young people vulnerable to mental health problems 1.
Work often covers anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, school, friendships and conflict at home. A therapist handles confidentiality differently with a young person than with an adult.
A therapist usually involves parents to some degree. Ask a practitioner at the start what will be shared with you.
What a family therapist does, and who comes to the sessions
Everyone on this page describes their work as family or systemic therapy. Family therapy helps people in close relationships understand and support each other 2. It works with the relationships between people, not with one person alone.
Family here means whoever those involved count as family. Sessions usually have more than one person in the room.
A therapist may also meet members on their own 3. Ask a practitioner who they would want in the room.
