Empowering Teens to Overcome Depression
At My Teen Mental Health in Modesto, California, we dedicate ourselves to helping teenagers navigate the challenges of depression. With over 10 years of experience, we provide compassionate care focused specifically on the unique needs of adolescents. We help teens rediscover their strengths, build resilience, and create a brighter future.
Understanding Teen Depression
Depression in teenagers goes beyond occasional sadness or stress. It’s a complex mental health disorder that influences adolescents’ emotional condition, social interactions, and daily activities. For teens, depression often feels like a weight they can’t lift, overshadowing their joys and passions. Our mission is to help teens understand their feelings, appreciate their struggles, and offer solutions that will help them regain control of their lives. At My Teen Mental Health, we believe every young person deserves a journey of healing and growth.
Signs of Depression in Teens
While it is often the case that teenagers don’t explicitly state what is bothering them, depression shows up in recognizable ways that a person can look out for. Watch out for the following:
A constant sense of emptiness or despair.
Distancing from friends, family, and activities they once enjoyed.
Sleeping excessively or experiencing insomnia; sudden weight changes due to eating habits.
Frequent expressions of guilt, worthlessness, or self-criticism.
Trouble concentrating on schoolwork, extracurricular activities, or personal goals.
Overly critical of themselves, setting impossibly high standards, or avoiding tasks to evade failure.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
My Teen Mental Health applies individualized, evidence-based treatments for adolescent depression. Our programs are designed to meet teens where they are and help them move forward with confidence.
Individualized Therapy Sessions
Individualized counseling with licensed therapists can help teens explore their feelings, learn healthy coping methods, and discover more about themselves.

In supportive circles, adolescents find their peers who are going through similar experiences which helps build a sense of community or shared understanding.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic models, we teach teens how to reshape negative thought patterns and practice positive behaviors.
Medication When Needed
When appropriate, we carefully incorporate medications into the treatment plan to stabilize mood and support overall progress.

Our family counseling sessions strengthen relationships and equip loved ones with tools to support the teen’s journey toward recovery.
