Therapy For Teenagers In Pennsylvania

A Critical Life Stage

The adolescent period is marked by significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes. This makes timely and effective mental health support essential for teenagers struggling in this growth phase. Our teen specialists address issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral problems, as well as helping teenagers develop coping strategies, improve their emotional regulation, and build resilience. For teenagers in minority communities, the importance of culturally competent mental health therapy becomes evident.  Teenagers of color often face unique stressors, including systemic racism, discrimination, economic disparities, and a lack of access to quality healthcare.  Our specialized team of BIPOC therapists fight against this trend.

By working with parents and school professionals, culturally competent teen therapists at Melanated Womens Health can help guide adolescents into a healthy and successful life.

We Accept Some Insurance:

The practice is in-network with some plans from Aetna, Meritain, Highmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Anthem, and Federal Employee Program. 

If you are unsure if we are an in-network provider for your plan, feel free to contact us for more information. We offer the courtesy of assisting all potential clients with mental health benefits verification for insurances that we accept. This is because we understand how difficult it is to find a therapist who accepts insurance, and figure out the cost of therapy using insurance benefits on your specific plan.

We also recommend that you check with your health insurance provider to confirm if we are in-network with your insurance and to verify the mental health benefits on your specific insurance plan. 

For insurance plans that we are not in network with, we can offer you a Superbill at the end of an appointment for you to submit for any out of network benefits you may have.

What are some of the most common issues our teen specialists see?

    • Family dynamics – Conflicts within the family, such as divorce, abuse, or lack of support, can lead to feelings of instability and insecurity.

    • Trauma – Exposure to traumatic events, whether at home, school, or in the community, can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health challenges for teenagers.

      Identity and self-esteem – Adolescence is a critical time for identity formation. Teenagers often struggle with self-esteem and body image issues, particularly with the influence of social media portraying unrealistic standards.

    • Academic pressure – The stress of maintaining good grades and meeting high academic expectations can lead to anxiety, depression, and burnout among teenagers. 

    • Bullying – Both online and offline bullying are prevalent issues for teenagers. Victims of bullying can experience severe emotional distress
