Treatment Programs for School Issues in Teens in Los Angeles, California
Quality care for teen school issues
As teens develop and navigate education, they can experience issues in school. This can be anything from academic difficulties, fighting in school, and having issues with authority figures within the school. To manage these issues, teens can benefit from mental health services and professional support.
At Clear Behavioral Health, we offer programs that can support teens in managing their emotions while working towards their educational goals. Our mental health professionals are experts in providing quality care to teenagers and helping them work through current school and other issues in their lives.
Teen therapy at Clear Behavioral Health
We focus on a multimodal treatment approach, reconnecting the body and mind. When you are a teen, it’s easy to become unbalanced and disconnected from your body since you are still learning how to manage emotions. Our teen intensive outpatient program (IOP) helps you learn how to manage emotions, identify mental health conditions, and overcome school issues with professional guidance.
You will have access to therapists and counselors who will incorporate a wide range of effective therapies. Our case managers will communicate with your school to ensure accommodations can be made while you participate in treatment. Our programs are conveniently located throughout the Los Angeles, CA area and are in-network with most insurance plans, so you can focus less on finances and more on healing.

What are school issues in teens?
School issues can vary from teen to teen, but most often they include academic decline, fights in school, withdrawal from social aspects, and even issues with teachers. These school issues can arise due to the shift in social dynamics as you get older, academic pressure, the onset of puberty, rapid exposure to social media, and mental health struggles.
Clear Behavioral Health helps you work on your academics, learn to manage your stress and emotions, and supports you when navigating your school issues.
Symptoms and signs of school issues in teens
When struggling with school issues, you might notice or experience some of the following physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms:
- Physical ailments like aching joints, fatigue, and headaches
- Social withdrawal
- Academic withdrawal
- Behavioral changes
- Easily irritable
These signs and symptoms can create more difficulties than school problems. They can affect your relationships, quality of life, and your future. Seeking professional support can be the first step toward overcoming school issues, healing, and improving your life.
Types of school issues teens struggle with
There are various types of school issues that teens might struggle with, including:
- Issues with teachers: fighting with teachers, not completing classwork, and being disruptive.
- Fights at school: this can include physical altercations, yelling matches, and escalation during conflict, like throwing objects
- Academic decline: not completing homework, grades declining, unable to keep up with the class material
- Social changes: withdrawing from social situations and friends, seemingly changing personality overnight, being excessively social to the point where you cannot be alone
All of these school issues can arise due to mental health conditions and even teen substance abuse. It’s important to keep an eye out for these behaviors to get help as soon as possible.
How to help teens with school issues
At Clear Behavioral Health, our teen IOP uses evidence-based and holistic modalities so you can find relief from your current struggles. We understand that treatment methods are not a one-size-fits-all. We work to tailor your treatment based on various factors like your background, current school issues, and what you’d like to improve.
Working to identify your emotions, pinpoint negative thoughts, and reconnect your body and mind are the main goals. The coping skills you learn can be used right away, but they will also support you long-term.
Our teen programs are an opportunity to alleviate your symptoms and find relief from ongoing school issues. This does not have to define your teenage years; instead, you can begin a new journey. One where you can tackle your school issues while improving your skills, so you can prevent any further issues from arising.
