Teen Counseling in Rhode Island: Building Confidence & Resilience

A Supportive Space for Growth and Self-Exploration

Adolescence is a transformative yet challenging period of self-exploration. Teens often feel overwhelmed by societal pressures, friendship dynamics, future planning, and the transition toward independence. At Lighthouse Counseling Associates, we provide a safe, supportive environment where teens can explore these feelings and develop the emotional strength needed to thrive.

Our Approach: Meeting Teens Where They Are

We prioritize a non-authoritative, Person-Centered (Rogerian) approach, allowing teens to take the lead in processing their unique challenges. This foundation of trust leads to deeper, more effective work using proven therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and change negative thought patterns.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): To improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy: To break down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps, reducing daily stress.

Our Approach: Meeting Teens Where They Are

We have extensive experience helping teens navigate serious issues that impact their well-being and family life:

  • Managing Anxiety & Depression: Identifying cycles of depression and providing objective support for anxiety.

  • Addressing Self-Harm: Providing proven techniques to decrease and cease self-destructive behavior patterns in a safety-focused environment.

  • Strengthening Family Relationships: Offering a confidential space where parents and teens can come together to bridge communication gaps.

Give Your Teen the Support They Deserve

Take the first step toward a brighter future for your teen. Contact Lighthouse Counseling today for a confidential consultation—because no one should have to weather the storm alone.
