Therapy for Teens

At Adelaide Therapeutic Services we are deeply passionate about providing therapy to teens. We believe that safe support can make a lasting difference in a young person's life. 

We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered and we are committed to creating a safe, supportive space where they can grow, heal and thrive.

We understand that adolescence is a critical stage of development, marked by emotional, social and psychological changes. Psychosocial therapy provides a holistic approach that addresses both the emotional and social challenges young people face during adolescence. This stage of life often comes with rapid changes, identity exploration, and increased pressures from school, peers, and family. Psychosocial therapy provides a safe, supportive environment where teens can build emotional awareness, develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, and strengthen their sense of self.

For teens living with a disability or psychosocial challenges, therapy can play a key role in building independence, resilience, and social participation. Through tailored interventions, it helps young people manage symptoms, enhance daily functioning, and improve overall quality of life. For NDIS participants, psychosocial therapy can be an essential support funded under Capacity Building supports, helping them work towards their goals in areas such as mental health, relationships, education, and community engagement.

Whether addressing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, or social difficulties, psychosocial therapy empowers teens to better understand themselves and thrive in their environment—laying the foundation for lifelong wellbeing.
