Teen therapy with an adult who takes them seriously
Being a teenager now is a lot: school pressure, social media, friendships that change overnight, and a brain that is still under construction. Sometimes a teen needs an adult who isn’t their parent, who listens without judging and helps them make sense of what’s going on.

Usually, something has shifted
Parents often reach out when something has changed: more withdrawal, more conflict, grades slipping, or a worry they can’t quite name.
Teens sometimes reach out themselves, and that’s welcome too. Teen therapy in Denver at Full Bloom covers the things that weigh on young people now, with sessions in person at our Denver office or online anywhere in Colorado.
- Anxiety and school stress, including panic, perfectionism and dread around tests or going to school at all
- Low mood and depression, pulling away, losing interest, sleeping too much or too little
- Grief and loss, from a death to a divorce, a move or a friendship ending
- ADHD, staying organized, managing frustration, and the shame of always feeling behind
- Identity and self-esteem, including body image and the pressure to look a certain way
- Big transitions, like starting high school or getting ready for college
If you’re the parent
You know your kid better than anyone, and it can still be hard to tell ordinary teenage moodiness from something that needs more help. A few things worth paying attention to: changes that last more than a couple of weeks, pulling away from friends or activities they used to love, sleep that has flipped around, or a school problem that keeps growing.
How we’ll involve you
- We usually meet with you at the start to hear what you’ve noticed.
- We explain privacy to you and your teen together, so everyone knows what stays in the room and what gets shared.
- You will always hear from us if there’s a safety concern.
- Periodic check-ins keep you in the loop without turning sessions into reports.
What tends to help
Frame therapy as support rather than a consequence. Offer the free consultation as something to try, with no long-term commitment, and let your teen have a say in it.
If you’re the teen
Maybe this was your idea. Maybe someone signed you up. Either way, here’s how it works. Your therapist isn’t there to lecture you or take anyone’s side. You can talk about school, friends, family, your phone, how you feel about your body, or not much at all for the first few sessions. You get a say in what you work on.
Worth knowing
- What you say stays private, with one exception: if someone’s safety is at risk, we have to bring in an adult who can help. We’ll explain exactly what that means in your first session.
- You can tell your therapist something isn’t working. We’d rather know.
- Video sessions are an option, so you can talk from your own room.
- You don’t have to know what’s wrong. “I just feel off” is enough to start with.
Trust first, then tools
Our approach is warm, real and collaborative, so therapy feels like something a teen takes part in.
Relationship first
Building trust comes before anything else. Teens open up when they feel respected, and that can take a few sessions.
Practical tools
Skills for anxiety, stress and big emotions that teens can use at school, at practice and at home.
Room for identity
We are affirming of all identities and orientations, and teens can explore at their own pace.
A path into young adulthood
For older teens heading toward college or work, our young adult therapists may also be a good fit.
“With teens and young adults, I keep things real and collaborative, so therapy feels like something they’re part of, not something being done to them.”

What parents and teens ask
It depends on your teen’s age and needs. We usually meet with parents at the start, explain how privacy works, and check in periodically. We’ll always tell you if there’s a safety concern.
That’s common. A free consultation can help, and teens often feel differently once they meet someone who isn’t there to lecture them. We won’t force the issue in a way that backfires.
Yes. Many teens are comfortable on video, and online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around school, practice and activities. We see teens online anywhere in Colorado and in person at our Denver office.
Sessions with Jillian Corpora are $150 for 50 minutes. We’re out of network and don’t bill insurance directly, but we provide a superbill after each session that you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement.
Mostly getting to know each other. Your teen’s therapist explains how privacy works, asks what’s been going on at school and at home, and lets your teen decide how much to share at first. Nobody has to have the right words.
Reach out and tell us a little about your teen. We’ll let you know whether we’re a good fit or help you find someone who is.
