Depression in adolescence doesn’t just affect the teen—it impacts the entire family.
Parents often feel overwhelmed, helpless, and unsure of how to respond as they watch their child struggle. In an attempt to cope with emotional pain, teens may turn to harmful behaviors such as substance use, self-injury (like cutting or burning), eating disorders, risky behavior, or even suicidal thoughts and actions.

At the Bay Area Center for Adolescents, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care for teens experiencing depression and the many ways it can manifest.
This may include drug or alcohol use, self-harm, suicidal ideation, withdrawal, anger, defiance, or disordered eating. Our clinicians are skilled at building trust and connection with teens—creating a safe space where they can begin to open up, heal, and grow.
We use proven, research-backed approaches to treat adolescent depression, including:
