At NōvaMind Wellness Adolescent Mental Health Treatment Center in Morristown, New Jersey, we specialize in providing comprehensive care tailored to the unique challenges teens and adolescents face today. We understand the growing mental health demands placed on teenagers, who are often navigating the complexities of academic, social, and personal pressures. Our mission is to create a safe and supportive space where young individuals can find healing, growth, and the tools they need to thrive.
Below, we provide a detailed overview of the conditions we treat at NōvaMind Wellness and how we help adolescents regain control of their mental health and well-being.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges for adolescents in today’s fast-paced world. Adolescents may experience overwhelming worry, panic attacks, or fears that impact their daily lives, academic performance, and personal relationships. Some of the anxiety disorders we treat include:
Our treatment programs for anxiety include evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness training. These methods help adolescents manage their symptoms while building long-term resilience.
Teen depression extends far beyond typical mood swings and occasionally feeling “down.” We treat various forms of depression, including:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and disinterest in once-enjoyed activities.
Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): A chronic form of depression that lasts for two years or longer, resulting in low energy, poor self-esteem, and difficulty functioning.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression tied to changes in seasons, often affecting teens during fall and winter.
Our personalized programs for depression often include therapy, medication management (when necessary), expressive activities like art and music therapy, as well as lifestyle interventions to improve overall well-being. We strive to empower teens with hope and self-confidence despite the challenges they face.
Self-harm behaviors and suicidal thoughts in adolescents indicate emotional pain or psychological distress that requires immediate attention. These behaviors might include:
Cutting, burning, or other forms of self-injury
Expressing hopelessness or withdrawal from loved ones
Suicidal ideation or past suicide attempts
At NōvaMind Wellness, we provide compassionate care in a secure environment. Our safety planning, therapeutic interventions, and crisis services ensure that adolescents receive timely and effective support, with an emphasis on enhancing their emotional health and helping them rediscover their self-worth.

ADHD can significantly affect a teen’s ability to focus, organize, and control impulses, leading to challenges at school and at home. Symptoms often include:
At NōvaMind Wellness, our interdisciplinary team provides customized support for teens with ADHD. Through a combination of behavioral therapy, executive functioning coaching, and structured routines, we help teens gain skills to better manage their symptoms.
Trauma can deeply affect a young person’s emotional and physiological development. Adolescents can struggle to process distressing or life-altering events such as abuse, neglect, loss, or witnessing violence. Symptoms of trauma may include:
Our trauma-focused therapies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), gently guide teens through the healing process. We emphasize creating a safe environment where teens can confront their trauma and develop coping strategies that lead to recovery.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings, cycling between periods of intense energy (mania or hypomania) and depression. Adolescents with this condition may struggle with:
Through psychiatric care, therapy, and family involvement, we work with teens to stabilize their mood and enhance their day-to-day functioning.
