I’ll work with a challenging teen. The girls weren’t even the problem. Parents who care so little they let things get this far and then bring their kid to me with a “Here, YOU fix her” attitude as if the kid is the problem. Then they threaten to sue when you report abuse.

How do you refuse? Do you just say "No, I won't treat you because you're a teen girl?"

You set limits on the populations you work with. It’s a standard procedure. Many therapists won’t work with minors at all for this very reason.

I see. I guess I assumed you were obligated to treat all comers

Absolutely not. Therapists have specific limits on what they treat. Imagine if a therapist with hardcore anti-gay views treated people with specific homosexual relationship concerns. They couldn’t possibly provide the best standard of treatment.
