Empowering Teens & Young Adults to Overcome Depression
Teen & Young Adult Depression Counseling in Fort Wayne
Specialized Support from Licensed Therapists for Adolescents & Young Adults
Navigating the teenage and young adult years can be incredibly challenging. Between academic pressures, social expectations, identity development, and life transitions, many teens and young adults experience emotional distress that can evolve into clinical depression. At Insight Counseling Fort Wayne, we provide expert depression counseling tailored specifically to the needs of adolescents and young adults—offering support, clarity, and tools for lasting emotional wellness.
Understanding Depression in Teens & Young Adults
Depression among teens and young adults often goes unrecognized. What may appear as moodiness, withdrawal, or disinterest can be signs of a deeper struggle. Our licensed therapists are trained to identify the unique symptoms of depression in this age group and provide early, effective intervention.
Persistent sadness, irritability, or anger
Changes in eating and sleeping habits
Sudden withdrawal from friends, family, or activities
Low self-esteem or feelings of worthlessness
Drop in academic performance or attendance
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
If your teen or young adult is showing signs of distress, don’t wait. Early support can prevent symptoms from worsening and help your loved one rediscover motivation, purpose, and connection.
