Thriving Together Through the Teen Years and Beyond
Being a parent of a teen is no easy task. The transition into adolescence can be just as confusing and tumultuous for you as a parent as it is for your child. Teens have a lot of challenges to juggle – including societal expectations, evolving social dynamics, identity confusion, a new window to the outside world, and a series of life-determining decisions to make. They are constantly being bombarded by messages from celebrities and social media, while confronting hormonal changes, body image, and other culminating pressures.
As a parent, you’re trying to juggle your evolving relationship with your teen, anxieties about their emerging independence, and concerns about who they’re spending time with and what they’re doing when not at home. At Mind Works, we understand the challenges the adolescent period brings and here to support you and your teen. We’re here to provide your teen with a safe place to talk about the changes they’re experiencing and equip them with the tools they need to navigate their changing world and feel prepared for the future.
How Therapy Supports Your Teen’s Growth in School, Relationships, and Self-Discovery
Enhanced Self-Esteem & Body Image
Navigating the teen years often means facing self-doubt and body image issues. Teen therapy provides a supportive space for adolescents to build confidence, accept and love their unique bodies, and grow in self-esteem.
Healthier Friendships & Relationships
Relationship dynamics can be complex or distressing during adolescence. Therapy helps teens to build and maintain healthier, more fulfilling relationships with their friends, significant others, and family.
Substance Use Education & Prevention
With pressures surrounding substance use, teens need clear, factual information and strong coping strategies. Therapy offers education and preventive measures, guiding teens towards making informed, healthy choices.
Increased Resilience & Coping Skills
Life doesn’t come without its hurdles. Through therapy, teens learn to develop resilience and robust coping skills, equipping them to handle life’s challenges and recover from setbacks with strength.
Stress, Anxiety, & Depression Support
Many teens grapple with stress, anxiety, and depression due to a wide range of factors. Therapy helps teens express what’s going on inside and offers strategies to reduce symptoms and promote mental well-being.
Future Planning & Goal Setting
Teens are faced with so many daunting decisions that can determine the course of their future. Therapy helps them to clarify their values, set achievable goals, ease anxieties, and create a roadmap for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Teen therapy at Mind Works is designed to support adolescents dealing with a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions. Our goal is to help teens find healthier ways to cope and thrive.
Our teen therapy incorporates several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for changing negative thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma resolution, and Solution-Focused Therapy for building on strengths to create change.
If you notice changes in your teen’s mood, behavior, academic performance, or social interactions that concern you, or if they express feelings of overwhelm, sadness, or anxiety, it might be time to consider therapy. These signs can indicate underlying issues that therapy could help address.
While teen therapy focuses on the individual needs of the adolescent, family involvement is often crucial for success. We may include family therapy sessions to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support the teen’s growth within the family dynamic.
The first session is primarily about building rapport and establishing a safe, comfortable space for your teen to express themselves. It’s a chance for the therapist to learn about your teen’s concerns and goals for therapy, and for your teen to ask questions and get to know their therapist.
Success Stories
“Highly recommend Mind Works. I am a clinician in Illinois and needed to find a clinic in Texas that could provide services to my client that was moving. This is no easy feat to do across the United States. Mind Works was fabulous to work with from the very beginning. Coordination of care was 5 stars and my “previous” client is very happy with their new counselor. Thank you very much for going above and beyond during this difficult time so many other counseling offices are facing. I appreciate all the help and coordination you offered my client!”
“I have known the owners for over 8 years and have taken a family member to Mind Works. Therefore, I can speak of them both personally and professionally. There truly is no better place for this service, especially for children and young adults. On the personal level, I know how much they truly care about everyone they meet. On a professional level, the entire staff is a reflection of the dedication to helping others and competence that gets results that the owners exude. During the incredibly trying time of this pandemic and the fear and anxiety it has caused many people, we are incredibly blessed to have Mind Works available to support.”
“The front desk staff is kind and courteous and helped me find the right therapist for my child. When I met my therapist she was kind and explained the process to me. I love that she included me in the play therapy process and helped me understand how to help my child. Thankful for the therapists at Mind Works!”
“Mindworks is the leader in child centered play therapy and collaborative care in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Their focus is solely on the mental health of children and teenagers. Each clinician at all four locations is seasoned, knowledgeable, experienced, and capable. Parents trust that their child is going to get the treatment and services they need and deserve.
I thoroughly enjoyed working as a clinician at Mindworks. The support and leadership is consistent and outstanding. Unlike any other job that I have had, leadership and clinicians work together to cultivate an awesome work environment.”
