Long Island, NY | In-Person and Virtual Therapy
Being a teenager today can feel like walking a tightrope
Many teens face pressure to succeed at school, fit in socially, and discover their identity, while navigating a world that often misunderstands them. These stressors can lead to anxiety, emotional shutdowns, perfectionism, or self-harm.
If your teen seems withdrawn, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge, it’s not just “a phase.” These can be signs they’re struggling to cope, especially with challenges like school-related anxiety, identity confusion, or peer pressure.
At Heart in Mind Psychotherapy, we offer adolescent psychotherapy on Long Island tailored to the unique emotional needs of teens. Through a warm, developmentally aware approach, we provide meaningful support for adolescents facing emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, or difficulty concentrating, helping them feel more grounded, connected, and resilient.
We’re here to help your teen feel seen, understood, and supported.

Therapy isn’t just about managing problems—it’s about helping teens reconnect with their confidence, feel more in control, and start to enjoy life again.

Here’s what many teens experience as they move through the therapeutic process:
- Improved self-esteem and a stronger sense of identity
- Emotional regulation and greater mental clarity
- Reduced anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- Improved ability to manage perfectionism and unrealistic expectations.
- More ease in navigating friendships, family, and parental conflict

With the right therapeutic support, adolescents can shift from just surviving to truly thriving.
Why Adolescent Mental Health support matters
Adolescence is a time of intense change—emotionally, physically, and socially. Teens are under more pressure than ever, and without support, they may feel like they’re constantly falling short or simply don’t belong. When these experiences go unspoken, they can lead to chronic stress, sadness, and a deep sense of disconnection.
At Heart in Mind Psychotherapy, we recognize that early support can make a significant difference. Our adolescent therapy services help teens process complex emotions in a space where they feel genuinely heard and accepted.
Common challenges we help with
The impact of social isolation and discrimination
When teens feel different because of how they look, love, learn, or think, they may internalize shame, fear, or rejection. These experiences can fuel mental health challenges and create barriers to trusting others. Through adolescent therapy, we help teens unpack these experiences with compassion, allowing them to heal and grow.
How we can help adolescents
Every teen deserves a space where they don’t have to explain away their emotions. Where they’re not judged for their struggles or told to “just push through.” At Heart in Mind Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing warm, affirming, and developmentally-informed behavioral therapy for adolescents, designed to meet teens where they are, not where others expect them to be.
Heart in Mind Psychotherapy is deeply attuned to the unique needs of this age group. With experience supporting a wide range of concerns—from adolescent anxiety to identity development—we create space for insight, connection, and change. Sessions are collaborative, paced with care, and centered around your teen’s voice and goals.
Whether your child needs short-term support for teens navigating a specific issue or longer-term therapy to address ongoing emotional patterns, we tailor our approach to what will feel most helpful and effective.
Our approach to Adolescent Psychotherapy
At Heart in Mind Psychotherapy, we understand how complex and tender the adolescent years can be. That’s why we approach every teen with deep respect, curiosity, and care—never assuming, always listening.
Our therapists bring a wealth of experience in adolescent therapy, but more importantly, we bring presence. We value the lived experiences of young people navigating a world that often demands too much and understands too little.
We use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches tailored to teens, including behavioral therapy for adolescents, emotional regulation strategies, and identity-affirming practices. Whether your teen is working through depression, anxiety, parental conflict, or finding their place in the world, we offer more than strategies. We offer connection, clarity, and compassionate support.
