Therapy for Teens and Young Adults
Being a teen or a young adult has never been easy, but today it's especially difficult. You want what's best for your child (even if they aren't children anymore!). Veritas Mental Health offers teen therapy services in Utah County and surrounding areas. Is your teen:
-
Battling anxiety, depression, or mood swings they can’t explain?
-
Struggling with eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia?
-
Dealing with body image issues or self-esteem challenges?
-
Coping with trauma, school pressure, or social stress?
-
Feeling isolated, angry, or simply lost?
-
Recovering from compulsive behaviors, including pornography use?

Sometimes they need to be able to speak openly with someone outside the family who will just. get. it. Therapists are a great source of non-judgmental, clear-headed insight for them.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
We offer some of the only animal-assisted therapy in Utah County. Animal-assisted therapy for teens can be especially useful if you have a young adult who has difficulty opening up. Our therapy dog, Katara, is not just a dog there to pet during therapy (although that certainly can happen too!). She is a therapeutic tool. Her personality and her engagement combined with the training of our animal-assisted interventions specialist, Destyni, greatly expedite building that trust that can be so difficult. This means we can begin helping your teen with their struggles faster, and with more comfort.
Therapy for Real Life Struggles
Unlike online therapy platforms that often feel impersonal or inconsistent, we offer grounded, relationship-based care from local therapists who share your values, live in your community, and will truly get to know your teen — because your child's mental health deserves more than an app.
