FOR TEENS
Teen Anxiety Therapy
Serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Sandy Springs, and East Cobb
If you’re looking for teen anxiety therapy in Roswell, GA, you may be noticing changes that are hard to put into words. Your teen might seem more irritable, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or constantly worried even if they’re still “doing fine” on the outside. School pressure, social stress, perfectionism, and overthinking can quietly build until anxiety starts running the show.
At Kind Heart Counseling, I offer teen anxiety therapy in Roswell for adolescents who feel stuck in their heads, hard on themselves, or unable to slow down. Therapy here is gentle, relational, and focused on helping teens feel safer in their bodies and more confident navigating everyday life.
What Anxiety Can Look Like in Teens
Anxiety in teens doesn’t always look like panic attacks or obvious fear. Many teens I work with are high-achieving, sensitive, or deeply self-aware and they often struggle silently.
Teen anxiety may show up as:
Constant worrying or “what if” thinking
Perfectionism or fear of making mistakes
Avoidance of school, social situations, or extracurricular activities
Irritability, shutdown, or emotional overwhelm
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
Physical symptoms like stomach aches or tension
Parents often sense something is off but aren’t sure how to help without making things worse. Therapy can offer a neutral, supportive space where teens don’t have to perform or explain everything perfectly.
Anxiety Therapy for Perfectionistic and Overthinking Teens
I specialize in working with teens who feel pressure to get everything right, keep it together, or meet high expectations even when it’s costing them their wellbeing. Many of these teens struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like they’re never doing enough.
In teen anxiety therapy, we focus on:
Understanding how anxiety shows up in the body and mind
Learning to recognize “real” vs. “tricky” danger
Building emotional awareness and flexibility
Practicing self-compassion instead of self-criticism
Developing coping tools that actually fit for teens
Sessions are collaborative and paced intentionally. Teens don’t have to know exactly what they’re feeling because we work on figuring it out together.
A Compassion-Focused, Nervous-System-Informed Approach
My approach to teen anxiety therapy is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and nervous system awareness. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, we work toward helping teens relate to it with more understanding and less fear.
I utilize different therapeutic modalities including:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Compassion-Focused Therapy
RO-DBT–informed strategies
Mindfulness and body-based awareness
Creative and experiential interventions
This approach is especially helpful for teens who feel overwhelmed, emotionally guarded, or stuck in cycles of overcontrol and self-judgment.

Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here’s what you can expect:
Schedule a Consult Call
Start by scheduling a free 15–20 minute phone consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you (or your child) to therapy and see if Kind Heart feels like the right fit.
Intake Paperwork & Forms
If we decide to move forward, we’ll book a 60-minute intake session (in person or virtual – $200). Before we meet, you’ll receive secure online forms to complete, so I can come prepared with care and clarity.
Begin Your Therapy Journey
During our first session, we’ll get to know each other, explore your goals, and build a plan together. We’ll also set up a weekly time that works for you to begin your therapy journey with consistency and support.
Location for In-Person Sessions
My office is located in a quiet, accessible office park (The Wilton Center) in Roswell, GA which is just a short drive from downtown Roswell and Canton Street. The space is designed to feel warm, calm, and welcoming.
It is wheelchair accessible, with seating and furniture that accommodate different body sizes and needs. There’s plenty of free parking available right outside the building, and restrooms are located in the same suite as my office.
Whether you’re coming from nearby or meeting virtually, I aim to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and fully yourself.
