Teens of Color Carry an Extra Layer of Pressure
Our teens of color face a unique mix of systemic, social, emotional, and developmental stressors in today’s world.
School asks a lot of them, and so do their friendships.
Then discrimination and being pushed to the margins stack on top of those everyday teen pressures.
As a parent of color, you see these pressures up close and know your teen needs support built for all of it.
Take These Years as Seriously as We Do
Adolescents are at a developmental crossroads, and the work that happens in these years is formative.
Our team does not take that lightly.
Healing-Circle welcomes teens of every background, with a particular focus on teens of color.
Some of what you’re noticing in your teen has a name: anxiety, depression, ADHD, or some combination.
Let Your Teen Have a Therapist in Their Corner
Healing-Circle therapists are genuinely on your teen’s side.
We get curious about your teen’s whole world: the classes, the friendships, and the pressure.
From there, we help your teen refine that world so they can grow into the person they’re becoming, on their own terms.
Sessions build practical tools for test anxiety, for focus, and for getting off the video game when it’s time.
Hear From Your Teen’s Therapist Every Six to Seven Sessions
Every six to seven sessions, you’ll sit down with your teen’s therapist for a parent check-in.
That’s where you hear how the work is going and learn how to back it up at home.
Home is part of your teen’s world, so it’s part of the work too.
Once your teen is ready, family sessions bring everyone into the room together.
Picture a Calmer Test Week
The big test still comes.
This time, your teen has a plan for the nerves.
Homework gets started after the controller goes down.
Over time, your teen walks into school steadier in who they are, whatever the day brings.
