Our mission at Teen Therapy Center is to help your teen and your family live happier lives. We help sort through all sorts of crises from painful, everyday struggles to traumatic, life-changing events – all of which can paralyze families from moving forward and can be the cause of a great divide amongst family members

. We understand how past decisions, personality differences, or unhealthy (emotional or physical) habits can be challenging to overcome without the guidance of a counselor. We don't want to just help you...our mission is to help you help yourself so that you can continue to live your life at its best.

What are the main impacts of social media on your teenager's mental health? 🧠

Kent Toussaint, LMFT breaks down three big ones in this video:

Anxiety and depression. So much of what teens consume is idealized and curated, creating unrealistic expectations and a constant loop of negative comparison that tears down self-esteem.

Sleep problems. An adult might scroll for 30 minutes before bed. A 15-year-old scrolls for four hours. And lack of sleep is one of the biggest telltale signs of anxiety and depression. When kids start getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night, anxiety and depression come down.

Social isolation. You'd think all that online activity would strengthen social bonds. It usually does the opposite. Teens stop going to birthday parties, stop hanging out on Saturday nights, and that erodes the in-person connection skills they need to build toward adult relationships.

These issues build on each other, and when they're not taken care of, kids start to crumble emotionally. 🎥

Why are teenage brains especially vulnerable to social media? 🧠

It's not a character flaw. It's biology. The brain isn't fully developed until roughly age 25, which means teens don't regulate impulses or emotions the way adults do, and they don't fully grasp cause and effect yet.

So when there's always another dopamine hit waiting, always one more thing to tap, it's hard for adults to resist. For a teenager? It's three times as hard.

Add in the constant comparison to everyone's curated highlight reel, which teens interpret as real and as proof they're not good enough, and you get a negative feedback loop that can be really detrimental if left unchecked.

Going through a divorce can feel isolating for a teen, even when they have siblings by their side. Each teenager has their own experience, and sometimes that experience isn't shared by anyone else in the house.

Stronger Than the Split, led by David Muns, AMFT, is a divorce support group built to give teens a space that's truly their own. To protect that, only one sibling per family joins the group, so every member can show up honestly without worrying it will travel back home. The intake process starts with an individual session for the teen and their parents, followed by hour and a half group sessions that begin with getting to know one another and open into real conversation about what life looks like during divorce.

Stronger Than the Split meets Thursdays at 5 PM at Teen Therapy Center in Woodland Hills. Watch David explain how the group works, then reach out to learn more.

One of the most difficult parts of divorce is staying grounded in your values—especially when your co-parent isn’t doing the same.

It can feel unfair. It can feel exhausting. And at times, it may even seem like your child doesn’t see what’s happening.

But over time, they do.
Children begin to recognize:
✔️ Who is consistent
✔️ Who follows through
✔️ Who feels safe to trust
Maintaining your integrity—even when it’s hard—helps create long-term emotional safety for your child.

Divorce reshapes the whole family, but for teens the impact often goes unseen. Questions like "Who am I now?" and feeling caught between two parents can weigh heavily, and many teens carry it quietly.

That's why we created Stronger Than the Split, a divorce support group for teens led by David Muns, AMFT. It gives teens a space to process what they're feeling alongside peers who truly understand, because hearing from others going through something similar can be just as powerful as talking it through alone.

Stronger Than the Split meets Thursdays at 5 PM at Teen Therapy Center in Woodland Hills. Watch David share why this group matters, then reach out to learn more.

This isn't just a support group. It's a reset.

A lot of moms come to Mom's Mental Tuneup thinking they just need someone to talk to. And yes — that's part of it. But what they leave with is something bigger.

By the end of 6 weeks you'll have:
✨ A clearer sense of who you are right now — not who you were when the kids were small, and not who you think you're supposed to be next 🤝 Real connections with women who genuinely understand this season of life 🗺️ A path forward that actually excites you — one you've built with intention, not by default

This is therapist-led, intimate, and designed specifically for California moms whose kids are heading to college or have already left. New session starting June. Just 6 spots.
