Adolescent & Teen Therapy

REDONDO BEACH TEEN & ADOLESCENT THERAPY


Creating a Safe Space for Teens to Open Up

Adolescents often feel misunderstood—and therapy shouldn’t add to that. Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates are experienced teen therapists who bring a calm, grounded presence to each session, creating space where teens and adolescents can show up exactly as they are. Whether they’re dealing with anxiety, school pressure, or big emotions they can’t yet name, we meet them with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

Building trust takes time, and that’s something we truly honor. Parents are included as collaborative partners, with a focus on strengthening family connection and communication.
