DBT Skills for Teens

You’re not alone.
Watching your teen struggle with intense emotions, mood swings, anxiety, or impulsive behaviour can be heartbreaking. If you’re searching for teen therapy in Toronto that’s structured, skills-based, and supportive, our teen DBT program in Toronto offers a clear plan forward.
When teens are overwhelmed, families feel it too
You’ve noticed the signs:
-
One minute your teen’s furious, the next they’re in tears and you’re left wondering what just happened.
-
They’ve stopped talking to you, shut out their friends, and are isolating more every day. It feels like they’re slipping away.
-
School used to be fine… now it’s a daily battle to get them out the door and their grades may be dropping.
-
You’re worried they’re coping in concerning ways (including self-harm) and it’s terrifying.
You’re doing your best. But adolescence is tough and your teen needs more support than you can give alone.

At The Wise Self, we understand how overwhelming this phase of life can be for both you and your teen.
