Building Resilience in Teenagers, Together

Empowering Teens Through Compassionate Adolescent Therapy

Adolescent therapy is a vital resource for teens facing the complexities of growing up, including emotional struggles, identity development, and relationship challenges. At the core of adolescent therapy is a supportive and non-judgmental environment where teens can openly express their thoughts and feelings. Through evidence-based techniques, adolescents can gain valuable tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and peer pressure. Therapy also helps teens develop healthy coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and navigate difficult transitions, such as school changes or family dynamics. With a focus on building trust and rapport, adolescent therapy fosters resilience, emotional intelligence, and positive growth. Whether your teen is struggling with mental health concerns or simply navigating the ups and downs of adolescence, professional therapy can provide the support they need to thrive. If you want to help your teen build a strong foundation for a healthy future, contact us today to learn more about adolescent therapy.

About  Dr. Jose A. Lopez

I earned my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. at UCLA.  After completing my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology at UCLA (one of the most highly rated Clinical Psychology programs in the nation), I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harbor UCLA Medical Center focusing on Child and Adolescent clinical populations.  Since becoming licensed in 1995, I have been working with children, adolescents, and their families in both private practice and within an HMO setting.  I have been a senior manager of a large Child Psychiatry Department for more than 9 years and have familiarity with the treatment of a general clinical population as well as more specialized clinical populations like ADHD, ASD, Depression, and Divorce.  I enjoy working with children and teenagers and their families, and I work using brief  solution-focused clinical approaches.

Collaborative Counseling

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process between children, teenagers, and their families with a well-trained and trusted clinician who is respectful of the family's values as therapy goals are developed. Psychotherapy optimally serves to help a person and their family navigate stressful situations, improves respectful communication within families, and enables people to access inner resources, develop new insights and work through self-destructive patterns.
