Teen Therapy

Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. The pressures of school, friendships, bullying, social media, family conflict, relationships, identity, and the need to fit in can leave teens feeling anxious, stressed, isolated, or unsure of themselves. At Sequoia Counseling, we offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where teens can feel heard, understood, and accepted. Our Sequoia Counseling services help adolescents navigate various concerns including anxiety, depression, school stress, bullying, low self-esteem, ADHD, difficulties in friendships and relationships, family conflict, trauma, and major life changes. Utilizing evidence-based approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and growth-mindset strategies, Sequoia therapy enables teens to understand their emotions and develop practical coping skills for everyday life. Therapy through our Sequoia therapy group can support healthier communication, emotional regulation, confidence, boundaries, problem-solving, and resilience. We believe that connection is a crucial part of therapy. Our goal isn’t merely to instruct teens; it's to build a relationship in which they can safely explore their experiences, uncover their strengths, and develop healthier strategies to navigate life's challenges.
Trauma-PTSD Therapy
Trauma-PTSD Therapy
Trauma-PTSD Therapy
Trauma can impact more than just our thoughts; it can affect how the body and nervous system react to stress, relationships, memories, and daily experiences. At Sequoia Counseling, we utilize a trauma-informed approach, emphasizing the critical connection between the mind, body, and nervous system in our sequoia counseling services.
Our clinicians leverage an understanding of Polyvagal Theory to assist clients in recognizing patterns of nervous system activation, such as fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown responses. By learning to identify these reactions, clients can cultivate greater awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of safety within themselves through sequoia therapy.
Sequoia therapy group sessions may also integrate techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) and Brainspotting. EFT employs gentle tapping while concentrating on emotions, thoughts, or physical sensations to aid in emotional processing. Meanwhile, Brainspotting targets specific points within a client's visual field to facilitate focused processing of challenging emotions and traumatic experiences.
Instead of simply discussing past events, our approach encourages clients to examine how their experiences may still impact their emotions, beliefs, behaviors, and nervous system responses.
Our mission is to create a secure, collaborative environment where clients can navigate difficult experiences at their own pace, enhance emotional regulation, reconnect with themselves, and progress toward greater resilience and well-being.
Anxiety- Therapy
Trauma-PTSD Therapy
Trauma-PTSD Therapy
Anxiety can significantly impact your thoughts, emotions, relationships, sleep, concentration, and ability to feel present in everyday life. At Sequoia Counseling, we specialize in helping adolescents and adults better understand their anxiety while developing practical skills to manage overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. Our Sequoia therapy group utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBT aids clients in recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, understanding how their thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and developing healthier responses. DBT equips individuals with practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
As part of our Sequoia counseling services, we also incorporate mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down, enhance their awareness of internal experiences, and learn to respond to anxiety instead of feeling controlled by it. Developing coping skills outside of therapy is a crucial aspect of effective anxiety treatment. Clients learn personalized strategies for managing worry, reducing emotional overwhelm, grounding themselves during heightened anxiety, and facing challenging situations with increased confidence. Our ultimate goal is to help clients understand their anxiety better, strengthen their coping abilities amidst life's challenges, and build the skills needed to experience greater calm, confidence, and emotional well-being.
