Therapy for Teen Girls in Miami

Pretty much any emotional, mental, or behavioral challenge that you as a teen are going through can be aided in some way by coming to therapy. Some common reasons teen girls seek therapy, or are encouraged to attend therapy by a parent are: depression, anxiety, eating and body image concerns, academic pressures, challenges in peer, romantic, or parent relationships, trauma, addictions, and life transitions.

In the first two sessions, your therapist will ask you questions about your life currently, your history, and what you might hope to get out of therapy. From there, you and your therapist will discuss goals for therapy. Sessions can focus on whatever you’d like the most help with at the time. They might include a mix of talking, doing artwork, or engaging in a game. It can sometimes be hard to talk for a whole therapy hour!

We’ll do everything we can to keep the information you share with us in a session private. Since teens are technically minors under the law, there are certain things we would need to communicate to your parents. Your parent would know the basics such as if you came to your session, based on insurance and financial records. Also, if something comes up in session where we think you are at risk of harming yourself or another person, or you may be at risk of being harmed (or are currently experiencing abuse), we will likely need to communicate this with your parent(s) for your safety. Otherwise, your therapist will prioritize keeping what you share between you and your therapist. And will be able to talk with you further about how they can maintain your privacy.

Our therapy rates for most of our therapists are $250 for the first two (2) 55 minute intake sessions and $225 for ongoing 55 minute sessions after that. If you’d like to work with Dr. Yang, inquire about her current rate. We are exclusively self-pay, meaning that we do not accept any insurance.

Prioritize Your Well-Being—with Support for Out-of-Network Reimbursement

At Balanced Awakening Miami, we are a self-pay boutique practice that serves high-achieving women who are ready to invest in meaningful, lasting change. While we are not in-network with any insurance plans, many of our clients receive significant reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits with providers like UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and others.

To make the process smoother, we’ve partnered with Thrizer—a modern payment platform that submits claims on your behalf and helps you access your benefits with ease. Thrizer takes care of the paperwork, coordinates directly with your insurance company, and helps you receive reimbursement faster. We can even provide a personalized estimate of your out-of-network benefits before you begin.

Therapy with us is an empowering investment—and Thrizer helps make it more accessible.

*Please note that appointments that are not canceled or rescheduled with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice will be subject to the full 55 minute session fee (either self pay rate or full contracted insurance rate). 

This is a great question! Under IL law, teens 17 and under are allowed to seek and have a certain number of therapy sessions without their parent knowing. However, at Balanced Awakening, we require that every client have a credit card on file, and many of our teen clients get therapy services with us through their parents insurance. Usually teens rely on their parents insurance and credit card, and as such need their parent to be involved in setting up therapy sessions. If you have any questions about this, or have your own credit card and would like to use it for our sessions, please contact us for more information!

Yes! We offer virtual teen therapy sessions. Sometimes it’s easier for clients to engage in therapy virtually, especially when they have school, homework, extracurriculars, and a social life!

The benefits of engaging in therapy as a teen girl are many! Here are some common ones:

Help you feel more confident in you/your relationship with yourself

Reduce your symptoms of anxiety and/or depression

Learn skills to help you communicate better with peers and feel more at ease in your friendships

Develop emotional resilience and flexibility in navigating day to day changes and challenges

Experience less conflict in your relationship with your parents or teachers

Heal from past trauma

Overcome disordered eating or substance abuse issues

Yes, you can if you’d like. Sometimes teens are more comfortable if their parent does not attend sessions, so we encourage parents to consider whether attending would get in the way of their teen’s bonding with the therapist. But other times, it can be helpful if the parents is present to help describe what has been happening in their teen’s life.

In order to establish the best relationship and provide the best therapy for your teen, we try to keep as much information that happens in session between the therapist and the teen. As the parent, if you would like
