Adolescent and Teen Therapy in Weston, FL

Is Your Teen Struggling Emotionally or Behaviorally? Adolescent Therapy in Weston, FL Can Help Them Heal and Thrive

The teen years are full of change — emotionally, physically, socially, and mentally. It’s a time of identity exploration, increased independence, and growing pressure from school, social media, peers, and family. For some teens, this time can feel overwhelming, confusing, or even isolating. If your teen is acting withdrawn, constantly anxious, unusually angry, or just "not like themselves," it may be time to consider support.

At Full Circle Therapy, we specialize in teen and adolescent therapy in Weston, FL, helping young people navigate challenges, build self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s stressors — all in a safe, judgment-free space.

It can be hard to know what's “normal” teenage behavior and what’s a sign something deeper is going on. While mood swings and occasional defiance can be part of adolescence, certain patterns may indicate your teen is struggling:

• Withdrawing from friends or activities they used to enjoy
• Significant changes in mood, appetite, or sleep
• Persistent sadness, anxiety, or irritability
• Sudden drop in school performance or motivation
• Self-harming behaviors or talk of self-harm
• Risky or impulsive behavior (substance use, aggression)
• Difficulty managing stress, anger, or social situations
   

If your teen is showing any of these signs, don’t wait — therapy can provide them with a trusted outlet and practical tools to better understand themselves and feel more in control.

Our licensed therapists work with teens ages 12 to 18 across a wide range of issues, including:

• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Depression and low self-esteem
• ADHD and executive functioning challenges
• School-related stress or academic pressure
• Social anxiety or bullying
• Grief and family changes (divorce, relocation, loss)
• Identity development (gender, sexuality, self-worth)
• Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or emotional dysregulation
   

No issue is too “small” or too “big” to bring to therapy — if it matters to your teen, it matters to us.

At Full Circle Therapy, we create a space where teens feel comfortable, respected, and empowered to speak freely. We don’t lecture or try to "fix" them. Instead, we build genuine, trusting relationships and help teens explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Depending on your teen’s needs, therapy may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping teens challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier behaviors
• Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Skills: Teaching tools to manage anxiety, anger, and stress
• Solution-Focused Therapy: Identifying strengths and building resilience
• Creative Expression: Using art, journaling, or metaphor when words are hard to find
• Family Support: Encouraging healthy communication between parents and teens (with consent and respect for confidentiality)
   

Each session is tailored to your teen’s personality, needs, and comfort level.

We recognize that parents and caregivers are a vital part of a teen's support system. At Full Circle Therapy, we balance the teen’s need for confidentiality with open, respectful communication with parents or guardians.

Here’s how we usually approach it:

• Initial session: We often meet with both the teen and parent to understand what's going on and what you’re hoping therapy will provide.
• Ongoing check-ins: With the teen’s consent, we’ll keep you informed on general progress and offer insights or suggestions to support your child at home.
• Collaborative support: We can also recommend parenting strategies or refer you to family counseling if broader dynamics need attention.
   

We believe therapy works best when teens feel ownership over their healing, but we also ensure parents feel supported and informed.

Totally normal — many teens are skeptical at first. They may not want to talk to “a stranger” or may fear being judged or misunderstood.

That’s why we focus heavily on building trust from day one. We explain that therapy is a safe space where nothing they say will be used against them, and that they’re in charge of what they want to share.

Most teens, after just a few sessions, realize how helpful it is to have a neutral person who truly listens — someone who’s not a parent, teacher, or friend. And often, therapy becomes a place they actually look forward to.
