Therapy for Teens & Young Adults — BIPS in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and via Telehealth
The years that shape everything.
Attachment-based, developmentally informed therapy for adolescents and young adults navigating identity, anxiety, school, relationships, and the long work of becoming oneself.

Not little adults. Not quite grown.
Adolescence and emerging adulthood are developmental landscapes of their own — with their own vocabulary, their own stakes, their own kinds of loneliness.
BIPS clinicians offer therapy that takes that seriously. We don't talk down. We don't over-diagnose. We work from an attachment-based, developmentally informed foundation — paying close attention to the relationships, identities, and internal worlds that are being built, tested, and revised in these years.
For some teens, therapy is where school anxiety finally becomes speakable. For young adults, it's often the first place where the question "who am I when I'm not performing?" gets room to breathe. Whatever brings you in, the work is collaborative — led by curiosity, not a script.
Common reasons teens and young adults come to us.
Academic pressure, test anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety, and the exhaustion of holding it all together while looking fine.
Questions of gender, sexuality, race, culture, and what it means to become oneself when the world keeps asking you to explain.
Low mood, loss of interest, self-criticism, withdrawal, and the flat gray that often hides underneath "I'm fine."
Friendships, first loves, family dynamics, breakups, and the ways early relational patterns start to echo in new ones.
Executive function, sensory needs, late diagnosis, and support that treats neurodivergence as a way of being — not a deficit.
Paced, attuned work for teens and young adults carrying trauma — big-T or small-t — that hasn't yet had space to be held.
A few things worth knowing.
For parents & caregivers
With appropriate consent, we collaborate with caregivers — especially for younger teens — to align supports across home and school. The therapy itself remains confidential between clinician and client; what we share with you is shaped by the client's age, needs, and the clinical picture.
For young adults
If you're 18 or older and making your own appointments, your therapy is yours. We work with college students, early-career folks, people in transitions — and we understand this stretch of life as its own developmental stage, not a way-station to "real" adulthood.
Clinicians who specialize in this age.
Most of our teen and young adult therapists work virtually and in person. Availability varies — our intake coordinator will match you with the right fit.
