Preteen Counseling
Therapy for Preteens and Tweens
The preadolescence years can be surprisingly challenging. As children begin navigating the transition between childhood and adolescence, emotions often become bigger, friendships more complicated, and confidence more fragile. Many preteens feel caught between wanting independence and still needing support, while parents can sometimes feel unsure about how to help.
Therapy can provide “tweens” with a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves, build coping skills, and feel less alone in what they are experiencing.
At Sequoia Teen Counseling Center, we have therapists specialized in working with youth as young as 8 years old. Early support can provide the foundational skills and resilience to prevent struggles from becoming more overwhelming over time.
