THERAPY FOR KIDS
AND TEENS WITH ANXIETY
We help kids and teens who struggle with anxiety gain the confidence they need to put themselves out there and build healthy relationships, without being stuck on their phone all day. Our clients struggle just like your kids do. Despite being bright, academically high achieving, and able to seemingly balance it all, life is still hard. When they first come in, they are in a relentless cycle of never feeling “good enough” and are stuck comparing themselves to everyone else on social media. They may start their day with reserved hope as they head to school, and come home a total wreck (or even worse, ask to be picked up early) after things don’t go as planned. You are doing your best to support them, but you don’t always know the right things to say or do.
That’s where we come in. Before families start working with us, their child’s anxiety dictates the family schedule. Parents often feel like they are walking on eggshells around their child trying to avoid whatever landmine may unpredictably set their child off. And they are starting to worry if their child is going to be emotionally prepared to handle the transition and move out when it is time to go to college.
If you want to help your child or teen build the confidence and resiliency skills to live up to their full potential, you’re in the right place. We'd love to help you and your family get there. We specialize in empirically supported, evidence-based treatments for children and teens with anxiety/OCD and depression. Call today, La Jolla Therapy Center is here to help your child and family get back on track.

Treatment for Individuals & Families:
Is your child constantly worried or overwhelmed by fear, making everyday activities feel like a battle? Anxiety can show up in many ways—through school struggles, social withdrawal, or even physical symptoms like stomach aches. We work with children and teens to understand their anxiety, build coping skills, and help them regain their confidence, so they can feel like themselves again, both at home and at school.
The transition to adulthood can feel like a rollercoaster—moving out of the house you grew up in, navigating new academic pressures, and figuring out your career path in today’s uncertain job market. If you are feeling overwhelmed by these changes or struggling to find your footing, therapy can offer the support you need to build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create a path forward that feels authentic to you. Together, we’ll work through the stress of these transitions so you can move forward with clarity and direction.
Is your child withdrawing from activities they once enjoyed, or feeling constantly down or irritable? Depression can make everyday life feel heavy and overwhelming, affecting your child’s mood, energy, and relationships. We help children and teens explore their feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and regain their sense of joy and connection, so they can thrive again both at home and with their friends.
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also challenging—especially when your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, or other issues. Parenting through tough times can strain both your relationship and your own well-being. We support parents not only in guiding their child through challenges but also in strengthening their partnership. Through couples therapy and parenting sessions, we’ll help you navigate parenting stress, improve communication, and build a healthier family dynamic.
