What Teens Are Facing Today

Between school pressure, social media, family tension, and the constant hum of anxiety, many teens feel like they’re drowning in expectations they can’t keep up with. Even the ones who seem “fine” on the outside might be struggling to hold it together inside.

Some common reasons teens and families reach out to us:

  • Constant anxiety about school, friendships, or the future
  • Mood swings, withdrawal, or outbursts that come out of nowhere
  • Feeling isolated, even around friends or family
  • Pressure to be perfect, fit in, or always have it together
  • Struggles with identity, body image, or low self-worth
  • Signs of depression, self-harm, or shutdown behavior

No issue is too small or too big. If something feels off, we take it seriously and meet your teen with compassion, not judgment.

How We Help Teens

Teens are under more pressure than ever, and they need more than advice or quick fixes. They need someone who will actually listen. Someone who sees what’s going on beneath the surface and knows how to help without making it worse.

At McNulty Counseling, we work with teens facing all kinds of challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and constant overthinking
  • Depression, low energy, or feeling numb
  • Self-harm or thoughts of not wanting to be here
  • Family changes, conflict, or divorce
  • Performance-based esteem issues from grades, sports, or other extracurriculars
  • Social struggles, bullying, or isolation
  • Identity, gender, and LGBTQ+ support
  • Body image, eating issues, and self-esteem
  • Relationship stress—friends, family, dating
  • Substance use and risky behaviors
  • Grief and loss, whether recent or buried

We take time to build a real connection. Therapy with us isn’t about checking boxes or giving homework. It’s about helping your teen feel safe enough to tell the truth and strong enough to face what comes next.
