Therapy for Teens and Tweens in Tampa
We know that the teenage years can bring big emotions, increased independence, and new struggles. Dr. Lago’s approach focuses on both teens and their family, ensuring that growth doesn’t just happen in the therapy room but also at home.
Dr. Lago works directly with teens to build skills for coping with anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and healthier behaviors, while also equipping parents with strategies to support their child’s mental health.

As a child psychologist in Tampa, Dr. Morgan Lago has seen first-hand that teens connect best in spaces where they feel comfortable, which is why telehealth can be an incredibly effective option.
