70+ Years of Combined Experience: A Practice That Specializes in Teen, Young Adult, & Family Therapy
At Katy Teen & Family Counseling, we specialize in working with teens of any age and various stages of life. We provide teen therapy for those who would qualify as pre-teens (ages 11 & 12) and Junior High and High School aged teens (ages 13-18). We also provide counseling for young adults (or older teens) ages 18-24 who face unique challenges as young adults.
Both the younger teens and the older teens (or young adults) may struggle with similar difficulties:
-
Lack of Motivation or Drive
These difficulties pose unique challenges based on the teen's stage of life. A teen in Junior High or High School struggling with these difficulties is hard enough. But as an older teen who has graduated High School, the pressures of attending college, getting a job, and becoming fully independent and self-reliant (becoming an adult) adds additional pressures that can feel overwhelming.
Because of the difficulties and the added life pressure of living life after High School, these difficulties can become exponentially more difficult. Depression, social anxiety, anxiety, ADHD/ADD can interfere with success in college, success in work, and success in social situations.
As a Parent, You May Find Yourselves Asking the Following Questions:
-
Their personality has changed. Is this just a normal teen phase or something more serious?
-
Could this just be some normal bumps in the road transitioning from High School to life after High School or is it something more serious?
-
Where is all this anger coming from?
-
Are they really ready to attend college away?
-
Why is my teen so sad all the time?
-
Why does my teen get so upset when she can't get things 'perfect'?
-
Why won't my teen let me in so I can help?
-
Will I ever be able to have conversations with my teen that don't end in him yelling and threatening?
-
What happened to my teen's motivation? He used to get such good grades and now it's a battle to get my teen to do their homework.
-
What else is there that I can do to help my teen?
If you have asked any of these questions or similar questions about your teen, you are not alone. Many parents are looking for answers on how to help them find happiness again. At Katy Teen & Family Counseling, our teen counselors and family therapists specialize specifically in working with teens, young adults, and families with struggles just like those you may be experiencing.

The "Why" We Provide Teen Counseling, Young Adult Therapy, & Family Therapy
Helping Teens & Families is Our Superpower
We have yet to find a therapist who works with teens, young adults, and families who does not love their work! We believe that this is due to the unique personality and innate skill set required to be successful in working with teens, young adults, and families. It's a natural fit for them. Without the unique personality and innate skill set, therapists find it challenging and move on to work with others.
Teen therapists, young adult therapists, family counselors are often asked if we find it hard to work with teens and families. It's likely because they have children of their own and have compassion and empathy for the struggles. For those of us who specialize in teen therapy, counseling for young adults, and family counseling, it's a question that is hard for us to comprehend.
As specialists, we see the current struggles and difficulties that teens, young adults, and families face. We also see the impact it has on the teen, young adult, and family. But, we also have a superpower of being able to see past the struggles and difficulties.
In collaborating with your teen, young adult, and family, we have a clear image in our minds of what the teen, young adult, and family will be like once they successfully complete therapy. With that end in mind, we will work with you to achieve that end.
For us, it's an eventuality. For us, it's already happened. In our minds, we see the successful outcome for a teen, young adult, and family. This superpower provides us the ability to help guide the teen, young adult, and family to that successful outcome.
At Katy Teen & Family, our teen counseling and family therapy specialists are half of the equation for your success. The other half of the equation is the teen, young adult, and family themselves. We have found that those families who are successful in their therapy goals are those:
-
Who attend therapy regularly
-
Teens and young adults who are willing to change and work to improve their lives (some teens young adults come in unmotivated and that's okay. We can help)
-
Parents who understand that there may be things they can do differently to help
-
Who are committed to the process, make therapy a priority, and are not willing to give up especially when it becomes challenging
Together, we can create changes that can restore hope, happiness, and connected family relationships!
