At Lakeview Therapy Group, we recognize the importance of addressing the holistic needs of adolescents. Our Adolescent Therapy program in North Chicago is tailored to meet the diverse needs of teenagers and their families. Using a blend of evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, we create a collaborative and personalized treatment plan for each client.

​

Our therapists work closely with adolescents to explore their strengths, values, and goals, empowering them to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience. Through a combination of individual therapy, family sessions, and group interventions, we provide comprehensive support to address a range of issues commonly experienced during adolescence.

What We Can Help With

​

• Emotional Regulation: Adolescence can be a rollercoaster of emotions. We offer strategies to help teens manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and other intense feelings in healthy and constructive ways.

• Peer Relationships: Navigating friendships, peer pressure, and social dynamics can be daunting. Our therapists provide guidance on building healthy boundaries, resolving conflicts, and cultivating positive social connections.

• Academic Stress: Balancing academic demands, extracurricular activities, and future aspirations can be overwhelming. We assist adolescents in developing effective study habits, organizational skills, and time management strategies to succeed academically.

• Family Dynamics: Adolescence often brings shifts in family dynamics and conflicts with parents or siblings. We facilitate open communication, strengthen family bonds, and help resolve conflicts to promote a supportive home environment.

• Identity Exploration: Adolescents are in the process of discovering their identity and values. We support teens in exploring their interests, strengths, and sense of self, fostering a positive self-image and a strong sense of identity.

• Behavioral Challenges: Whether dealing with defiance, impulsivity, or risky behaviors, we work collaboratively with adolescents to understand the underlying causes and develop healthier coping mechanisms and decision-making skills.

 

At Lakeview Therapy Group, we are committed to helping adolescents thrive emotionally, socially, and academically as they navigate the complexities of adolescence and prepare for a successful transition into adulthood.
