Compassionate Counseling for Teens in St. George, UT

At Elevated Counseling and Wellness, we know that being a teenager can feel overwhelming. Between academic pressures, social relationships, identity development, family expectations, and emotional changes, many teens struggle silently. Our approach to counseling for teens in St. George, UT is rooted in compassion, safety, and respect—creating a space where teens feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood.

With a primary clinic in St. George and an additional location in Logan, we are proud to serve teens and families throughout Southern Utah. We are an LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed practice committed to welcoming individuals from all walks of life. Whether a teen is experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or simply feeling stuck, our goal is to help them reconnect with their strengths and move forward with confidence.


A Safe and Supportive Environment for Teen Healing

Teens often feel misunderstood or hesitant to open up—especially if they worry about being judged or dismissed. At Elevated Counseling and Wellness, we prioritize building trust first. Our therapists take time to get to know each teen as an individual, honoring their experiences, boundaries, and pace.

Counseling is not about “fixing” teens or forcing change. Instead, it’s about empowering them with emotional awareness, coping skills, and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can navigate challenges with greater resilience.

Teen and Young Adult Therapy

Our Teen and Young Adult Therapy services focus on the unique developmental needs of adolescents and young adults. We help teens work through anxiety, depression, peer relationships, academic stress, identity exploration, and major life transitions in a supportive, age-appropriate way.


Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy provides one-on-one support for teens and adults seeking clarity and emotional balance. Sessions are tailored to each client, offering a confidential space to process thoughts and feelings while building practical coping strategies.


Anxiety and Depression Counseling

Anxiety and depression are common during adolescence, but they often show up differently than expected—through irritability, withdrawal, perfectionism, or emotional overwhelm. Our Anxiety and Depression Counseling helps teens understand their emotions, manage distressing thoughts, and develop tools to feel more grounded and hopeful.


EMDR for Trauma & PTSD

When teens have experienced trauma, their nervous systems can remain stuck in survival mode. EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain safely process traumatic memories, reducing emotional reactivity and restoring a sense of stability.


Somatic Therapy

Stress and trauma often live in the body, especially for teens who struggle to verbalize what they’re feeling. Somatic Therapy helps teens tune into physical sensations, regulate their nervous systems, and feel more present and grounded.


IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy

IFS Therapy helps teens understand the different “parts” of themselves—such as protective behaviors, emotional wounds, and inner strengths. This nonjudgmental approach encourages self-compassion and is especially helpful for teens navigating inner conflict or shame.


Marriage and Family Counseling

Family dynamics have a powerful impact on teen mental health. Marriage Counseling and family-informed work can help caregivers strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier emotional environments that support teens’ growth.


Faith Crisis and Expansion Counseling

For many families in Southern Utah, faith and spirituality are important aspects of identity. Our Faith Crisis and Expansion Counseling supports teens and adults navigating spiritual questions, transitions, or religious stress in a respectful, open, and non-directive way.



Self-Development and Personal Growth

Not all teens come to counseling in crisis. Self-Development Counseling supports teens and adults who want to build confidence, emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, and a stronger sense of self.


Counseling for Seniors

We believe mental health support matters at every stage of life. Counseling for Seniors addresses aging-related transitions, grief, and emotional well-being, often supporting families across generations.


Online Teletherapy Options

To increase accessibility, we offer Online Teletherapy throughout Utah. Telehealth can be especially helpful for teens with busy schedules or those who feel more comfortable connecting from home.
