Founded in 2013, Folsom Teen Therapy was created to be a place where children, teens, and families feel safe, supported, and truly understood. We know reaching out isn't always easy, and we're honored to walk alongside families through some of life's most challenging moments.
Every therapist brings different experience, specialties, and perspectives, allowing us to thoughtfully match your child with the therapist who best fits their needs.

We are proud to be an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice where young people and their families are welcomed without needing to explain or hide who they are.
Many LGBTQIA+ youth face challenges like bullying, rejection, family conflict, or feeling misunderstood. Therapy should be one place where they don't have to hide who they are. Our therapists provide an affirming, trauma-informed space where they can explore their identity, process difficult experiences, and feel accepted for who they are.
Affirming care
A visible place for identity, belonging, and being understood without judgement.
Therapy should be a place where young people can focus on themselves, not on explaining who they are. We create an environment where identity is respected from the very beginning, so the work can focus on healing, growth, and everyday life.
Therapy groups for children and teens
In addition to individual and family therapy, we also offer therapy groups for children and teens.
Groups provide a supportive space to build friendships, strengthen social and emotional skills, gain confidence, and realize other kids understand what they're experiencing.
Whether a child is learning to manage anxiety, navigate friendships, or simply connect with peers who understand, group therapy can be a powerful part of the healing process.
Some children are ready to talk. Others communicate through art, games, movement, sandtray, or simply taking their time. We don't expect every child to engage the same way, so we adapt therapy to how they naturally connect and communicate.
Therapy can look different for every young person.
Therapy doesn't happen in isolation. When it's helpful, we work alongside parents so progress continues beyond the therapy room.
Big emotions, shutdowns, avoidance, or acting out often tell us something important. We work to understand what's underneath, not just what's happening on the surface.
Some children like to talk. Others open up while drawing, playing, or creating. We meet them where they're most comfortable.
