Therapy for Adolescent Teens & Therapists-Clinicians was founded in 2012 with a vision to bridge the gap in accessible, reliable information regarding adolescent therapy and support for therapists and clinicians. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by teenagers and the professionals who support them, we set out to create a comprehensive online resource.

Our site’s inception stemmed from the realization that while there is a vast array of mental health resources available, specific guidance tailored for adolescents and therapists was scarce. We aimed to fill this void by offering evidence-based information, practical advice, and a supportive community.
