Teen

Independence, with a steady hand nearby.

The teen years bring new questions about the body, mood, relationships, and the future. Our adolescent visits make room for private, confidential conversation, while keeping parents informed and involved in the ways that matter.

Our goal is for your teen to leave each visit feeling heard, and to gradually take the lead in their own health.

Common questions from parents

Will you see my teen alone?
With your understanding, part of the visit is a private conversation. It helps teens learn to speak up about their own health, and we always keep safety front and center.
Do you screen for anxiety and depression?
Yes. Confidential mood screening is a routine part of adolescent visits, and we help connect families with support whenever it is useful.
Can our teen keep seeing you into college?
Many families stay with us through age 18 and beyond. When the time comes, we help with a smooth handoff to adult care.
