Teen Therapy in NYC, Hoboken, and Online

At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, we specialize in therapy for teens navigating the emotional challenges of adolescence. Our licensed teen therapists provide a safe and supportive space, both online and in-person in Hoboken, NJ, and New York City, where adolescents can talk openly, process their emotions, and build the skills they need to thrive.

Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, peer relationships, academic pressure, or family conflict, our integrative, trauma-informed approach helps them feel seen, heard, and understood.

At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, our teen therapists specialize in helping adolescents navigate the emotional intensity, identity exploration, and relational challenges that come with growing up in today’s world. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, peer pressure, school stress, or self-esteem, we provide a structured yet flexible therapeutic experience designed to meet them exactly where they are.

We know that teens often hesitate to open up, especially in clinical settings. That’s why our therapists are trained to build genuine, trusting relationships that feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. By combining evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care with warmth, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity, we help teens feel safe enough to be themselves and explore what’s really going on underneath the surface.

Adolescence can be a turbulent time, but when mood shifts or behavior changes start to interfere with your teen’s daily life, it might be time to consider professional support.

At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, our therapists specialize in working with teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, social stress, and identity challenges. If you’re unsure whether your teen could benefit from therapy, here are common signs to look out for:

• Noticeable changes in mood or behavior (irritability, anger, sadness, emotional outbursts)
• Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities they once enjoyed
• Declining academic performance or loss of motivation in school or extracurriculars
• Expressions of hopelessness, low self-worth, or negative self-talk
• Disrupted sleep or appetite patterns (sleeping too much or too little, changes in eating habits)
• Engaging in risky behavior or signs of self-harm
• Frequent physical complaints like headaches or stomachaches with no medical cause
• Increased anxiety, panic attacks, or persistent worry

If one or more of these warning signs sound familiar, teen therapy can provide a safe space for your adolescent to express themselves, build coping tools, and feel more grounded and confident.

BeWELL offers in-person teen therapy in Hoboken, NJ and Flatiron NYC, as well as virtual sessions across NY, NJ, CT, PA, and CA to meet your family where you are.

BeWELL offers in-person teen therapy in Hoboken, NJ and Flatiron NYC, as well as virtual sessions across NY, NJ, CT, PA, and CA to meet your family where you are.

Sessions are tailored to your teen’s individual needs, emotional maturity, and communication style. Over time, therapy supports your teen in:

• Regulating emotions like anger, sadness, and anxiety
• Developing healthy boundaries and communication tools
• Exploring identity, values, and self-worth
• Processing grief, change, or trauma in a safe way
• Building confidence and resilience through skill-building

All sessions are private and confidential, with clear communication about safety-related exceptions. Parents are included thoughtfully, especially during intake, transition periods, or when additional support at home could benefit the therapeutic process.

As a parent, it can be challenging to determine when your teen requires additional support. Our therapists are here to collaborate with you, not just to help your child heal, but to guide you in understanding their emotional world.

• Parent meetings are held at intake and as needed throughout care
• You’ll receive tools and feedback to support your teen outside of therapy
• We work with you and your child to foster communication and trust at home

BeWELL partners with local schools in NYC and Hudson County, NJ to provide supplemental mental health therapy for teens when in-school services aren’t enough.

We help support:

• Students in crisis
• Teens with complex emotional or family needs
• Transitions to or from higher levels of care

BeWELL therapists help teens with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias
• Depression, low mood, or loss of motivation
• Friendship struggles and social anxiety
• Bullying or school-related issues
• Identity exploration and self-confidence
• Family conflict and communication issues
• Academic pressure or perfectionism
• Grief, trauma, or life transitions

Building trust through clear boundaries and open communication.
One of the most essential elements of successful teen therapy is confidentiality. At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, we understand that teens are more likely to open up when they feel emotionally safe, and that safety begins with knowing that what they share in therapy won’t be automatically shared with a parent, teacher, or caregiver.

That said, we also recognize the vital role parents play in their child’s emotional development and healing journey.

During the first session, our licensed therapists clearly explain how confidentiality works in teen counseling, outlining what remains private and what circumstances (such as the risk of harm to oneself or others) would necessitate disclosure. This conversation involves both the parent and the teen to create a shared understanding and trust from the start.

While session details remain private, therapists often offer general updates and insights, such as emerging themes, emotional progress, or ways parents can support their teen at home. We are committed to striking a balance between therapeutic privacy and collaborative family support.
