Teen Depression Therapy Melbourne | Compassionate Adolescent Care
When a teenager experiences depression, the whole family feels the impact. Our teen depression therapy in Hampton provides specialised psychological support for adolescents struggling with persistent sadness, emotional numbness, or feelings of worthlessness. We take a collaborative approach, working with both the young person and their family to address underlying issues and develop sustainable strategies for recovery. Using evidence-based treatments tailored to adolescent needs, we help teens reconnect with what matters to them, rebuild their sense of self-worth, and develop the emotional skills needed for lasting wellbeing.
