Counseling for Children, Teens, Young Adults and Adults
Personalized Counseling to Help Silence THE NOISE
Our licensed therapists offer counseling in New Lenox, IL for children, teens, young adults and adults. Most of our clients come to us for anxiety, and we also help with depression, trauma, self-esteem, school stress and big life changes. Sessions happen in person at our office on Batson Court or by telehealth for clients who are physically in Illinois during each session. Each therapist is a licensed mental health professional with years of experience, and we use well-researched approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR to give individuals and families care that fits.
We live in an age where there is constant noise, whether it be constant alerts on our phones, social media, societal and peer pressure, or even our thoughts in our heads. It can fill us with doubts, worries, and overwhelming pressure that we feel we can’t meet. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that teens today face higher levels of anxiety and stress than any previous generation. It’s easy to feel completely lost and struggle to cope, whether you are a teen or young adult (anyone and everyone, right?).
Navigating life’s challenges can be tough. At Davis-Smith Mental Health, we believe everyone needs to recognize their inner strength to lead a fulfilling life. The National Institute of Mental Health notes that early intervention in teen mental health leads to significantly better long-term outcomes. Our goal is for every client to leave our sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more assured of who they are than when they started.
We do everything we can to make you feel comfortable from the time you enter our office to the time you complete treatment.
TEEN COUNSELING & YOUNG ADULT SERVICES
What We Help With
Abuse/Trauma/PTSD
Learn about the impact of trauma and abuse. Don’t feel that your teen needs to suffer in silence. Get support and relief.
Adjustment Problems
Life changes can be hard to navigate for anyone, especially teens. Find ways to reduce the frustration with hope.
Anger and/or Aggression
Anger and aggression can lead to a volatile home environment for everyone. Take steps to bring peace to your home.
Anxiety
Is your son or daughter dealing with constant negative thoughts, stress, fears, or overthinking? Anxiety can make school, friendships, and daily life feel harder than they should. If anxiety is starting to take over, teen anxiety counseling can help them learn how to fight back and feel more in control.
Depression
Depression can feel like it’s stealing your teen away. Don’t wait any longer. Get them help so they can embrace life again.
Social Skills/Relationships
Relationships at this age are vital. Is your teen picking the right relationships? If not, counseling can help them!
Building Confidence and Empowerment
Navigating life’s challenges can be tough. At Davis-Smith Mental Health, we believe everyone needs to recognize their inner strength to lead a fulfilling life. Our goal is for every client to leave our sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more assured of who they are than when they started.

How Counseling Works at Davis-Smith Mental Health
Starting counseling does not have to feel complicated. At Davis-Smith Mental Health, we walk with you through every step of the process, from your very first call to the moment you leave feeling more like yourself. Our approach is simple, personal, and always at your pace.
The Benefits of Starting Counseling Early
One of the most common things we hear from clients is that they wish they had reached out sooner. The truth is, the earlier you start counseling, the quicker you can start feeling relief. Early support helps teens and young adults build coping skills before challenges become crises, reduces the likelihood of needing long-term therapy, and gives young people the tools to handle whatever life throws at them. Reaching out is not a sign that something is wrong. It is a sign that you are ready to feel better.
Procrastination Delays Peace
Sometimes, when faced with big decisions, we hope that given enough time, the problem will resolve itself. However, in many cases, our clients have expressed they wished their parents had reached out sooner. Teens and young adults are great at not really letting people know how much they are suffering inside. Starting counseling sooner leads to quicker relief, a reduced likelihood of needing long-term therapy, and a significant boost in your teen or young adult’s confidence!
