A Therapy Group for Teen Boys Overcoming Anxiety
Helping teen boys manage anxiety, build confidence, and feel more at ease with peers.
Most parents find me after watching their son slowly disappear from things. He stops answering texts. He skips the party. He's explodes at home, and no one has called it anxiety yet.
I'm Jarrod Hoffman, a licensed therapist who works with teen boys. I'm forming a small therapy group where boys learn practical ways to handle anxiety, build confidence, and connect with peers going through the same thing.
What's Happening Right Now. If any of this sounds familiar:
➢ He's eating super quietly or explosively during mealtimes.
➢ He had friends two years ago. Now the phone is quiet.
➢ He's hard on himself in a way that doesn't sound like a phase.
➢ You're terrified he won't be able to make it after high school.
➢ You've asked him what's wrong and gotten "I'm fine" five times.
That's not a lack of effort on your part. Anxiety in teen boys tends to look like withdrawal, irritability, or just being the quiet one, so it goes unaddressed longer than it should.
Why a Group?
You can't be his peer, and he knows it. The boys in this group are dealing with the same thing, and that changes what he's willing to say out loud. A room where he isn't the only one who feels this way does something individual therapy can't. He'll say it's awkward at first, and then he'll say he prefers the group to individual therapy.
What Your Son Will Gain
During guided group sessions, boys will:
➢ Learn practical strategies for managing anxiety in the moments it hits.
➢ Build confidence and self-esteem.
➢ Strengthen social skills and friendships.
➢ Connect with peers facing similar challenges.
What You Get Out of This
➢ A read on what's actually going on, from someone who works with teen boys every week.
➢ Peace knowing he has a neutral 3rd party and peers to talk to.
➢ Your son practicing the hard thing in a room where it's safe to be
bad at it.
➢ Relief seeing your son begin to make progress toward who you know him to be.
