We had the fortunate experience with Modern Recovery that we can’t express the gratitude in words. Our son needed a different kind of support and had tried the various live in session therapies. Modern has a method that spoke to us and our son and we are thankful that it has worked so well for us.

About our approach to Teen Counseling in San Francisco

We understand that every child is unique, and as parents, you want the best for them. That’s why we take the time to truly get to know your teen, creating a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported.

  • 🧩 Family therapy: We focus on improving communication within families, helping teens feel supported and connected at home.
  • 🎯 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): We guide teens experiencing intense emotions in managing their feelings in healthier, more constructive ways.

How do I know if my teen needs therapy?

Parenting a teenager can be challenging, and it’s important to recognize when they might need extra support. Here are some signs that therapy could help:

  • 😔 Persistent sadness or mood changes: If your teen’s mental health seems off and they’re feeling down or irritable for weeks, therapy might help them work through these emotions.
  • 🚪 Withdrawing from family or friends: If your teen is isolating themselves and having trouble with communication, therapy could help them reconnect and express their feelings.
  • ⚡ Intense stress or anxiety: Overwhelming stress or anxiety may be a sign they need professional guidance to learn healthy coping skills.
  • 🌀 Trouble handling emotions: If your teen has difficulty managing emotions like anger or sadness, therapy can support them in processing these feelings.
