Trauma Therapy for Teenagers in Orlando

Real Support. Real Healing. Real Hope.

Being a teenager is hard enough. Add trauma—abuse, bullying, loss, medical emergencies, violence, neglect, family conflict, or betrayal—and life can quickly feel overwhelming. At The Counseling Corner, we provide compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy for teens—because no young person should have to carry emotional pain alone.

Trauma can impact a person's thoughts, feelings, and relationships with others. They may feel stuck in survival mode—haunted by memories, hypervigilant, disconnected, or overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, shame, or fear. We provide a safe, supportive space where their story is honored and your healing journey is respected.

Since 1998, we've helped teenagers across Central Florida reclaim their voice, rebuild trust, and rediscover strength after trauma. Whether the pain is new or something they’ve been carrying for years, healing is possible—and it starts here.

🧠 What Trauma Looks Like in Teens

Teen trauma can show up in ways that get missed—or misunderstood. Your teen may be:

  • Angry or irritable without knowing why

  • Overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or panic

  • Depressed, numb, or constantly exhausted

  • Avoiding school, friends, or previously loved activities

  • Engaging in risky behavior or self-harm

  • Obsessed with control (grades, eating, routines) or feeling completely out of control

  • Withdrawn, isolated, or highly reactive

  • Haunted by flashbacks, nightmares, or past experiences

They may not have the words to explain it—but they’re showing you something isn’t right.

Our job is to help teens process the pain they’re carrying in a way that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering.

🧰 How We Help Teens Heal from Trauma

Teens need more than coping skills—they need a place to feel seen, heard, and respected. Our trauma-trained therapists work collaboratively with teens, offering flexible, customized care that balances safety with challenge.

We help teenagers:

  • Process trauma without reliving it

  • Understand how trauma affects the brain, body, and relationships

  • Reduce flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, and emotional shutdowns

  • Strengthen self-esteem, identity, and emotional regulation

  • Build healthy boundaries and trust in relationships

  • Reconnect with hope, joy, and their future

🧑‍⚕️ Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies for Teens

We tailor every session to your teen’s pace, comfort, and emotional readiness using clinically proven methods like:

  • TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): Helps teens process trauma, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and rebuild emotional safety

  • CBT for Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma Symptoms: Gives teens tools to manage emotions, triggers, and stress

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): Innovative therapy that reduces trauma symptoms through gentle memory reprocessing

  • EMDR: Another Innovative therapy that reduces trauma symptoms through gentle memory reprocessing

  • Narrative & Creative Expression Therapy: Helps teens “tell their story” through writing, art, music, or movement

  • Mindfulness & ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): Teaches teens how to manage overwhelming feelings and build self-compassion

  • Supportive Therapy: Provides the necessary support and gentle guidance that teens often need to feel willing to open up and begin the healing process.

  • Family Therapy (as needed): Supports rebuilding connection between teens and caregivers when trauma has caused emotional distance

📘 What Parents Should Know

1. Teens may not call it “trauma”—but their behavior might.
Irritability, withdrawal, and risk-taking are often symptoms of unspoken emotional pain—not defiance.

2. Your teen may feel stuck between “I don’t want help” and “I don’t want to feel like this.”
That’s normal. We meet them where they are and work to build trust—not push or pressure.

3. You are still a vital part of their healing.
Even if they act like they don’t want you involved, your support matters. We offer parent guidance and sessions (with your teen’s consent) to strengthen family relationships and reduce conflict.

4. Safety comes first.
If your teen is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, suicidal ideation, or unsafe behaviors, please seek help immediately. We offer crisis intervention referrals and clinical safety planning.

5. Early intervention changes outcomes.
Unresolved trauma in adolescence can affect brain development, emotional regulation, relationships, and future success. Addressing it now lays the foundation for resilience and long-term wellness.
