Tweens Therapy (Ages 10–13)
Palm Beach Therapy is located in Jupiter, Florida and provides therapy services for tweens and families throughout Palm Beach County and Martin County.
What is therapy for tweens?
Therapy for tweens focuses on supporting children as they move through the transition between childhood and adolescence.
This stage often brings new emotional, social and academic pressures. Tweens are beginning to develop a stronger sense of identity while also navigating friendships, independence and increased expectations.
At Palm Beach Therapy, we provide a supportive environment where tweens can explore their emotions, build confidence and develop healthy coping skills.
How is therapy for tweens different from younger children or teens?
Tweens are in a unique developmental stage.
They may still benefit from creative and experiential approaches, while also being able to engage more directly in conversation than younger children.
Therapy may include:
- Talk-based support
- Experiential and creative techniques
- Emotional awareness and communication skills
- Problem-solving and decision-making guidance
Our approach is tailored to meet each child where they are developmentally.
What are common challenges for tweens?
Many tweens experience emotional and social changes that can feel overwhelming.
We often help with:
- Anxiety and increased worry
- Social struggles and friendship challenges
- School-related stress or pressure
- Emotional ups and downs
- Low self-esteem or confidence
- Family transitions or conflict
These years can feel confusing for both children and parents, and therapy provides a steady place for support.

Through therapy, they can:
- Learn to identify and express their emotions
