Expert Care for the Modern Challenge of Growing Up.
Parenting a teen today means navigating a landscape of social pressure, academic burnout, and emotional complexity that feels vastly different from previous generations. You aren't failing; you’re navigating a difficult season. At Heart & Mind, we bridge the gap between 'the parent who cares' and 'the teen who is struggling' by providing a neutral, professional third party focused on growth and regulation.
Our Clinical Intentions
Emotional Regulation
Moving from "walking on eggshells" to stable, healthy communication at home.
Academic Resilience
Developing the focus and mindset to handle school stress without burning out.
Identity & Confidence
Building a secure sense of self that isn't dependent on social media or peer approval.
To the Teen:
This is your space.
"Let’s be honest: the idea of therapy can feel 'cringe' or like just another person trying to fix you. That’s not what we do here. This is a confidential space where you set the agenda.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by expectations, frustrated with friends, or just 'off,' we provide a judgment-free zone to help you figure it out on your own terms. No forced conversations—just real support."
A Collaborative Path to Wellness.
Regulated care tailored to the adolescent brain.
As CRPO and OCSWSSW regulated professionals, we utilize a toolkit specifically adapted for youth. We balance the teen's legal right to confidentiality with the family’s need for progress, ensuring an ethical and safe environment for everyone involved."
