Who This Is For

Growing Up Is Hard. Getting Help Should Not Be.

Teenagers and young adults today are dealing with more than most people realize. Academic pressure, social anxiety, identity questions, family stress, trauma, and a world that moves faster than anyone can keep up with.
At Refresh, our therapists specialize in working with young people between 14 and 21. We create a space where teens can actually talk, feel heard, and build the skills to handle what life throws at them without it all falling apart.
We work with parents too. Because when a teen is going through something hard, the whole family is affected.

What We Do Not Treat

Is Refresh the Right Fit for Your Teen?

We want to make sure every young person we work with gets the right level of care. Refresh is best suited for teens who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges and have a baseline level of stability.
At this time, we are not able to support teens who are experiencing:

Active eating disorders

image

Schizophrenia or psychosis

image

Acute suicidal ideation requiring crisis-level care

image

Severe substance dependency

We'll help you find the right care.

If your teen needs a higher level of care, we are happy to connect you with providers in our referral network who can help. The right fit matters — for your teen and for us.

The Process

What to Expect

Teen therapy at Refresh includes parental involvement as part of the process. We believe that when families are engaged, teens get better outcomes.

Here is what the process typically looks like:

A note about intake

Following the intake session, we will determine together whether Refresh is the right fit for your teen and our program. We take this step seriously because we want to make sure every young person we work with gets the care that is right for them.

OUR APPROACH

How We Work With Teens

Our therapists use evidence-based approaches adapted for adolescents and young adults. Sessions are practical, not just talking, and focus on building skills teens can actually use.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Changing unhelpful thought patterns

Emotion Regulation Skills

Managing big feelings without shutting down or exploding

REBT / Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Building resilience and perspective

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

When appropriate for anxiety and OCD

Teen Program

Refresh is starting a teen program slated to begin Spring 2026. Add your child’s name to the waiting list, we anticipate it will fill up quickly.
