Find the Best Teen Therapist in the Portland Metro Area: Online or In-Person
Does My Teen Need Mental Health Therapy?
When it comes to prioritizing your teen’s mental health, most parents will do anything to make sure their child feels supported emotionally and mentally. But how do you know when your teenager needs therapy? For many parents across the Portland and Milwaukie area, the idea of their teen starting counseling can feel unfamiliar — yet it can make a profound difference. If your teen is shutting down, withdrawing, or avoiding conversations, working with a local therapist can give them a safe, judgment-free space to explore what’s bothering them and get the support they may not be ready to ask for at home.
At Willamette Wellness Center, we recognize the unique troubles that teens and adolescents face in today’s world. With the constant pressure of academics, family, peer groups, and social media, your young adult may feel overwhelmed by the demands and responsibilities being thrown at them. This is where we can step in to help.
Young adult counseling isn't just for "problems." It's a space for your teenager to:
- Develop healthy coping strategies
- Get help with teenage depression
- Improve relationships
- Build resilience for life’s challenges
- Set and achieve personal goals
Our specialist adolescent therapists create a safe space for your child
No matter where your child comes from, or how they identify, all are welcome here. We’re proud to be a safe space for LGBTQ+ teens, BIPOC youth, and anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit in. Our diverse team of therapists for teenagers reflects the community we serve, and we’re committed to understanding and celebrating your unique experiences. Currently WWC has therapists on staff who have advanced training in adolescent and teen counseling and are able to provide online sessions for teens aged 14 years and older.
How Can Therapy Help Your Young Adult?
Teens today are often expected to grow up faster than they feel ready for. Big transitions — from starting middle or high school to navigating emotional, mental, and physical changes — can feel overwhelming. Many families across Milwaukie, Portland, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding Clackamas County communities see this firsthand. At Willamette Wellness Center, we’re here to help your teen find their footing. Our therapists meet adolescents exactly where they are, offering a grounded, supportive space to explore what they’re feeling and who they’re becoming. Step by step, we help them grow into the person they want to be.
We have therapists who are specifically trained in treating teens and adolescents to better understand the anxiety, depression, or stress they may be feeling. This way, they can learn how to overcome the things that cause them worry or pain and move forward with the confidence to believe in themselves and their actions.
Our Milwaukie, OR, clinic provides in-person counseling, and we also serve clients across Oregon and Washington through our HIPAA-compliant online telehealth platform. We accept most insurance plans, including BCBS Regence, Kaiser of Oregon, Oregon Health Plan, PacificSource Commercial, and Providence.
