Our therapists will determine which method of therapy is best for you, such as somatic therapy, gestalt therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Medication Management

Our therapists and psychiatrists identify effective anxiety medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and meet with you to monitor the clinical impact and potential side effects of the prescription.

We provide you with adolescent psychiatry services that consider your environment, genetics, and mental state to monitor the effects of the medication.

    Types of Anxiety Disorders Teens Struggle With

    Identifying the type of anxiety disorder you are experiencing can make managing the symptoms easier and your long-term healing more successful. Here are some of the common types of anxiety in teens:

    • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – This is an anxiety disorder that tends to manifest in teens through excessive worry about parts of life, not necessarily about a specific aspect.
    • Panic Disorder – This involves a physical reaction of intense fear, which can be sudden and unexpected when panic attacks occur.
    • Social Anxiety Disorder – For teens, this anxiety disorder presents excessive worry about social interactions, how you are perceived, and fear of embarrassment.
    • Separation Anxiety Disorder – This disorder stems from being away from a person or thing that has created comfort for you. It can be so severe that you are unable to be alone, even to complete basic tasks.
    • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – This anxiety disorder in teens manifests by needing to follow certain processes, numbered sequences, and cleanliness manners. It can vary from person to person, but the occurrence can be severe enough that daily functioning is hindered.

    When trying to manage the occurrences of your teen anxiety symptoms, it can also manifest with other mental health conditions like depression, as well as substance abuse. It’s important to manage your anxiety to prevent other mental disorders from developing or worsening. A proper therapeutic plan can help manage and improve co-occurring symptoms.

        I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

        The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.

        Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.

        From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

        Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
