Teen Therapy Center is a private mental health clinic dedicated to providing help and support to teens and their families. To best fit your schedule, we see clients daily including evenings and weekends. With so many temptations and choices, a teen can benefit from help to sort through feelings, values, and goals with guidance from a compassionate and knowledgeable therapist.
Teens work individually with a caring, reliable therapist in a safe and confidential environment to achieve their goals. Teens get to know other teens with similar experiences, while giving and receiving feedback, gaining support, and increasing self-awareness. Parents receive guidance and learn tools to nurture their relationship with their teen and gain a renewed sense of energy and hope.

Teen Therapy Center in the San Jose area understands the most important component in therapy is a strong alliance between you and your therapist. Therapy can help you to feel better, be stronger, and learn to make choices that are good for you and make you feel good about yourself. Therapy is a learning process.
During the initial appointments, we will participate in an assessment process that looks at all areas of your life. We will take a comprehensive look at behaviors at home, school, and in the community, as well as medical and family histories. This thorough evaluation is important because it helps us to identify any psychological disorders or risky behaviors that need to be addressed in treatment.
Family therapy assesses and treats the needs of the family system as a whole. It can help families to strengthen communication, redefine roles, and restore healthy boundaries in order to improve both individual and family functioning. Family therapy gives each family member a chance to share his/her view of the problem and ideas for a solution.
Group therapy helps teens give and receive support while learning from each other and their therapist by discussing the issues they have in common. As a teen, in group you will connect with other teens who understand you and what you are going through!

Parents give so much to their teen that they often forget to nurture themselves and their relationships. They find that they are frequently feeling overwhelmed or depleted. Developmental changes of teens and transitions within the family can lead to disharmony, distancing, and conflict. What used to work well may now seem ineffective or may make things worse.

I have been referring people I know to this clinic ever since they opened over 10 years. The feedback has been exceptional throughout the past decade. During that time I've gotten to know the founder and current executive director and I'm happy to say that they are great!
In general I think therapy is one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools and this clinic is such a great way to bring someone into the fold!

My son had an excellent experience working with Deborah at the Teen Therapy Center. She was engaging, put him at ease and provided him with an excellent set of tools to use to manage his anxiety. Therapy takes work outside of the session and Deborah was amazing at promoting the motivation for him to put in the work. I highly recommend the center and Deborah.

As Head of School at a private school in Los Gatos, we have worked with a number of different counselors at Teen Therapy Center and recommend them regularly. I have been thoroughly impressed by the quality of their clinicians. They are able to provide great one-on-one counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and in-home coaching (which can be hard to find!)
The therapists collaborate effectively with me and our teaching team (when a release of information is provided, of course) to ensure their clients' needs are being met, which can make therapy and school more effective! This is a top-notch

We loved Allison at Teen Therapy Center. She was professional and knowledgeable but also was able to connect with my teen daughter. My daughter felt comfortable to share her thoughts and feelings and her self worth and confidence has increased. I love that even when we had finished therapy when we had a crisis Allison was there and squeezed our daughter in so she able to speak with her. It's so nice to have caring professionals who are there when you need them.

This place is not good for therapy by any means. I am 20 and was previously in a therapeutic boarding school because I have really struggled with a lot of trauma and was not able to control my emotions properly. After I left, I stayed away from therapy for a while until I convinced myself it could be helpful. I was also recently diagnosed with a chorionic illness so managing my feelings around that was also necessary. However, my symptoms are very unpredictable and can range from paralyzing pain & vision loss to sore muscles and nausea so I physically can’t make it in on some days. I had Megan

So disappointed. We had been using this group for out teen daughter. Ended up with an emergency situation while out of town and we received zero support or guidance while we were in severe need. Took a week before even received a response and that appeared to just be an encouragement to get us back for therapy. Can't tell you how abandoned and disappointed I felt.

I have been a client of LGTT for over four years and I can say with full honesty, becoming a client was the best gift my dad ever gave me. I have been in psych-therapy on and off for ten years and I truly am grateful to know that my current therapist ; Lindsay Smith, is the one out of many who has been the most compassionate, honest, thoughtful/insightful, and considerate therapist I've ever built a "client-therapist" relationship with. I am not saying therapeutic processes are easy, and even with the best treatment coordinators and/or teams, sometimes you just want to throw the

Los Gatos teen therapy is probably the best therapy center I've ever been to. I've not met any of the other therapists except for Mona Tahsini Who in my opinion is the best therapist I've ever met. She is really easy to relate to, an awesome person in and out of therapy, Whether I am just giving her a call or texting her some bad news... She is always very helpful. The office building is very comfortable and not at all unwelcoming. They have their own free Wi-Fi And comfortable waiting room. A large HDTV greets guests with a calming river flowing Sound and video. Clean utilities

As a mother of two teenagers with identity, self- esteem and depression issues, I was able to get them help with Lindsay Smith. She makes a connection with teens and works through their issues. They learn tools to help deal with their problems in the future. I highly recommend Los Gatos Teen Therapy and Lindsay Smith.
