Individual Therapy for Teens and Young Adults
In Person in Los Angeles + Virtual Throughout California
You may not be able to name exactly what’s changed, but you know something doesn’t feel right.
You may be more anxious or irritable, pulling away from people, struggling with motivation, or spending more energy trying to keep up. Relationships may feel harder, or things that used to feel manageable may not anymore.
Individual therapy provides a space that’s your own to understand what’s happening, work through what feels difficult, and notice patterns in how you feel, respond, and relate to others.
At Kincove, 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
There isn’t always one obvious moment when someone needs therapy. More often, it’s a series of smaller things that start to add up.
You might find yourself thinking:
“They just don’t seem like themselves lately.”
“Every conversation turns into an argument, so I’ve stopped knowing what to say.”
“They’re capable of so much, but everything seems to take more out of them than it used to.”
“I know something is bothering them, but they won’t talk to me about it.”
“Nothing is necessarily wrong, but I don’t feel like myself.”
“I keep ending up in the same patterns and don’t know how to get out of them.”
“I thought I’d feel more certain about where I’m going by now.”
Sometimes the reason for reaching out is clear. Other times, you just know something could feel different. Therapy can be a place to start making sense of it.

Our Approach to Individual Therapy
Therapy at Kincove is warm, relational, and tailored to the person. Some clients need space to understand themselves and work through experiences or relationships. Others need practical support with anxiety, communication, emotional regulation, or increasing independence. Often, the work includes both.
Our therapists integrate CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed strategies with psychodynamic and relational work, depending on what the person needs.
Therapy may involve recognizing recurring patterns, understanding how past experiences are showing up now, trying different ways of responding, or building greater confidence and self-trust. The approach can shift as the work develops.
A Safe Space For Teens. Support For Parents.
Teens need a relationship with their therapist that feels like their own. Parents also need enough information and support to know how to help.
We protect the privacy of individual therapy while keeping parents appropriately involved. When clinically appropriate, parent check-ins typically happen every 4–6 weeks to discuss broader progress, concerns at home, and ways to support their teen.
When something needs more attention within the family, parent coaching or family therapy can be added separately without turning the teen’s individual sessions into family sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about individual therapy? Explore some of our most common questions, 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.
