Counseling for Tweens & Teens

The preteen and teen years can be full of change, challenge, and emotional intensity. At Little Bear Counseling, we create a supportive space where young people feel seen, heard, and understood.

Our therapists help tweens and teens navigate anxiety, identity, friendships, school stress, and family dynamics while building confidence, emotional insight, and healthy coping tools for the road ahead.
