Adolescent Therapy in Texas – Understanding Teens, Supporting Growth
Supportive counseling for teens and their families across Texas.
Being a teenager today isn’t easy. Between school stress, social pressure, and constant comparison online, many teens feel overwhelmed and parents often aren’t sure how to help. Room for Change offers specialized therapy for adolescents ages 11-18 to help them feel heard, supported, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
When Your Teen Needs More Than You Can Give
You’ve tried listening, reassuring, setting boundaries, but nothing seems to work. The distance grows, the moods shift faster, and suddenly it feels like you’re speaking different languages.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Support can make the difference.
Adolescence is full of big emotions and even bigger changes. At Room for Change, we help teens find a safe place to talk, process, and learn ways to manage stress, anxiety, and self-doubt while helping parents feel supported too.
When Home Feels Unfamiliar
Teen years can change the rhythm of home life fast. What used to feel easy like conversations, dinners, laughter, might now feel unpredictable or distant. Parents often feel unsure of what’s right, and teens can feel misunderstood or alone.
You’re both doing your best. Therapy helps bridge that gap, creating space for calmer communication, renewed understanding, and steadier days ahead.

What Clients Are Saying
Melissa Lecompte
“…was a miracle for my teen son and I. If it had not been for our family therapy sessions, our relationship probably would not have survived. She was highly insightful and gave so much support and empathy to both of us. She clarified points of view for both of us so we could truly see the feelings of each other and the good in each other. I am forever grateful for the services provided to us.”

Teens open up when they feel respected and understood. We start by creating a safe space where your teen can talk freely without judgment.
Navigating Stress & Pressure
From academic challenges to social media stress, we teach coping tools to manage anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelm.
Improving Communication at Home
Family tension often eases when everyone feels heard. We provide tools that strengthen conversations and rebuild connection between parents and teens.

Helping Your Teen Feel Grounded and Understood
Adolescent therapy isn’t about fixing your teen but it’s about helping them understand themselves, manage emotions, and feel more confident handling life.
Imagine calmer mornings, more open conversations, and fewer moments of frustration. Over time, those small shifts lead to steadier days and a stronger family connection. With support, your teen can move forward feeling more capable, balanced, and understood.
