The gold-standard treatment for adolescent anxiety
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry recommend behavioral therapy interventions for adolescents with anxiety.
What is our Teen Anxiety Program?
Clarity's Teen Anxiety Program teaches parents, caregivers and teens themselves evidence-based techniques that reduce time spent avoiding and overthinking while increasing independence and enjoyment of life. Our Teen Anxiety Program is proven to improve family function by addressing functional, environmental and interpersonal factors.
Being a teenager with anxiety can feel isolating — but you don't have to go it alone. Our evidence-based group therapy transforms individual challenges into shared learning experiences, teaching your family the science-backed skills and understanding you need to better understand and manage anxiety symptoms.
In our expertly facilitated group sessions, families find more than just care—they discover a weekly sanctuary of understanding and connection. Parents and teens who often feel isolated in their journey find validation through shared experiences, learning from questions they may never have thought to ask alone.
This intimate virtual group setting creates a unique space where the struggles of parenting or being a child with a chronic condition are normalized - it’s an experience and support system that individual care cannot replicate.
Our therapists are the cornerstone of our group therapy sessions, serving as both clinical experts and community builders. They create structured yet dynamic environments where professional guidance and peer support work hand-in-hand.

Why group therapy?
Many parents seeking treatment for their child or teen with anxiety wonder if they would benefit from individual therapy. Parents may be surprised to learn that, while individual therapy may benefit a child in certain circumstances, parent-led interventions have been proven to be just as, if not more, effective! Your Clarity clinician will discuss these options with you during your initial visit.
Parent training provides caregivers with the skills to redirect behaviors so that children and teens can “borrow” from the parent to extend their attention for tasks, regulate their moods, and use friendly behaviors. Parenting strategies often sound easy and basic, but they can be difficult to practice in real life. Our child psychologists work with your family to personalize these skills for your child.
