Hermosa Beach

Teen Therapy

Helping teens feel seen, supported, and confident in who they’re becoming.

At The Wellness Collective, we specialize in therapy for teens and adolescents in Hermosa Beach and the surrounding South Bay communities. We offer a safe, compassionate space for teens to work through the many emotional and social challenges of growing up.

Our therapists support teens struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, identity exploration, and academic or family-related stress.

We help teens feel heard, understood, and empowered to make healthier choices and strengthen their emotional resilience.

We work with teens facing:

  • Feeling Misunderstood and Alone

    You’re trying to figure out who you are while juggling school, friends, family, and nonstop pressure to be “okay.” You may feel disconnected, like no one really gets you, or like you’re carrying the weight of things you can’t explain. You need a space where you can be honest, vulnerable, and accepted exactly as you are.

  • Anxious, Overwhelmed, and On Edge

    Whether it shows up as panic, irritability, mood swings, or total shutdown, the pressure is real. From school demands and social dynamics to the pressure to “have your whole life figured out,” everything can feel like too much. Therapy offers a place to breathe, sort things out, and build healthier ways to cope.

  • Stuck in the Comparison Game

    It feels like everyone else is doing better, looking better, achieving more, and handling life effortlessly. You may be dealing with perfectionism, low self-esteem, or constant pressure to measure up. Therapy can help shift those thought patterns and support you in feeling more confident and grounded in who you are.

  • Questioning Who You Are

    You’re exploring your identity, around gender, sexuality, culture, or adoption and trying to make sense of how you fit into the world. You want to feel safe to ask big questions, without fear of judgment. Therapy gives you a space to be curious, real, and supported as you find your own path.

  • Hurting Inside and Not Sure Why

    Sometimes the pain is hard to explain. Maybe you feel down or numb more days than not. You might be struggling with grief or loss, or you’ve been thinking about self-harm or just wanting to disappear. Therapy can help you find language for your feelings, develop healthier coping strategies, and begin to feel more in control.

  • Curious and Experimenting

    You or your teen may be curious about substances, vaping, alcohol, or marijuana and experimenting in ways that raise questions or concerns. Whether it’s occasional use or something more regular, therapy provides a space to talk openly about choices, risks, identity, and how to make values-aligned decisions.

  • Caught in Family Changes

    Family can be complicated. You might be living through divorce, adjusting to a blended family, or struggling with a parent’s substance use or emotional availability. When things at home feel unstable or tense, therapy can be a grounding space to make sense of it all and learn how to care for yourself in the process.
