Individual Therapy
In-Person and Virtual
Therapy for teens and young adults who are struggling, stuck, or not quite themselves.
Adolescence and young adulthood are periods of tremendous growth marked by increasing independence, evolving relationships, and navigating a wide range of emotions. It's not always easy to understand what you're feeling or why.
This may look like anxiety, withdrawal, perfectionism, irritability, low motivation, changes in friendships, overwhelming emotions, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people around you.
At Kincove, individual therapy helps adolescents and young adults better understand themselves, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.
We offer in-person therapy at our Los Angeles office, conveniently located for individuals and families in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Westwood, Brentwood, Bel Air, and surrounding communities. We also offer telehealth throughout California
Sometimes It's Hard to Know What's Changed
You may notice your child seems more anxious, sad, angry, isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you know. They may be having trouble with school, motivation, friendships, family relationships, sleep, technology, self-esteem, or emotional regulation.
Many parents come to us saying some version of:
“My teen won’t talk to me anymore.”
“They seem anxious all the time.”
"They have so much potential, but something seems to be getting in the way.”
“Every conversation turns into a fight.”
"I'm not sure if this is just a phase or if they need more support."
Individual therapy gives adolescents and young adults a space that's truly their own while helping parents better understand how to support them along the way.

What Individual Therapy at Kincove Looks Like
No two people come to therapy for the same reason, and no two therapy journeys look exactly alike.
At Kincove, therapy is collaborative, relational, and tailored to each individual. Some clients need space to better understand themselves and process difficult experiences. Others are looking for practical ways to navigate anxiety, relationships, school, or major life transitions. Most need both.
Rather than following a single therapeutic approach, our therapists thoughtfully integrate evidence-based and insight-oriented modalities based on each client's needs and goals.
Therapy often focuses on:
Developing a deeper understanding of emotions, behaviors, and recurring patterns
Building healthier ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions
Recognizing and changing patterns that contribute to conflict, avoidance, or feeling stuck
Navigating relationships, family dynamics, and communication more effectively
Developing a stronger sense of self, confidence, and self-trust
Managing academic pressure, increasing independence, and major life transitions
A Safe Space For Teens. Support For Parents.
Teens need a space that's truly their own. Parents need support and guidance. We believe both are essential.
Individual therapy at Kincove gives adolescents a confidential relationship with their therapist while also recognizing that parents are an important part of the therapeutic process. For clients under 18, treatment includes parent involvement from the beginning and parent update sessions approximately every 4–6 weeks.
These conversations give parents the opportunity to ask questions, discuss progress, better understand what their child is experiencing, and learn how to support them between sessions, all while protecting the confidentiality that allows therapy to be effective.
The goal is not to make parents the “problem” or to keep them on the outside. The goal is to help the whole system function better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about individual therapy? Explore some of our most common questions below, or reach out to us if you'd like to learn more.
-
There isn't always a clear moment when therapy becomes the right next step. More often, it's noticing that something feels different.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply don't feel like yourself, therapy offers the opportunity to better understand what's happening and develop healthier ways of responding.
-
The first session is about getting to know you. We'll spend time understanding what's been going on, learning about your history, exploring what brought you to therapy, and discussing what you'd like to get out of the process.
It's an opportunity to ask questions, get to know your therapist, and decide whether it feels like the right fit.
-
Parents are an important part of the therapeutic process for clients under 18. While therapy gives teens a confidential space to be themselves, parent update sessions every 4–6 weeks help parents better understand what their child is experiencing and how to support them at home.
Our goal is to involve parents in a way that strengthens treatment while protecting the trust that makes therapy effective.
-
The length of therapy looks different for everyone. Some clients come in to work through a specific challenge, while others continue therapy as they navigate new stages of life, relationships, or personal growth.
Throughout the process, we'll regularly revisit your goals to make sure therapy continues to meet your needs.

Finding the right therapist matters. During your complimentary consultation, we'll take the time to understand what you're looking for, answer your questions, and thoughtfully match you with the therapist who we believe is the best fit for your personality, goals, and needs.
