teen counseling
Is your teen struggling with anxiety, depression, or dealing with something and wants to talk to someone? The teen years include a lot of change and can include a good amount of emotional turmoil. Teens are usually in the process of figuring out who they are, what they want to do and who they want in their life and oftentimes pretty private about what is going on with them. They frequently turn to friends rather than parents for advice. Teens have a lot of things to deal with like friends, peer pressure, grades, and college/future plans. Having the opportunity to talk to a therapist can often provide teens a safe place to work through whatever they are dealing with and figure out the best solutions for them.
One of my specialties is working with teens and it comprises about 1/3 or more of my practice. i love working with teens and they are a true soft spot for me, especially ones asking for help. I provide a safe place where teens are able to open up and work through whatever is bothering them. Parent involvement with teens can sometimes be tricky as Most teens are private and do not want their parents involved in therapy. however, parent input about their observations and concerns is helpful. If situations arise where I believe it is in the teen’s best interest for parent involvement, I will work with the teen to help facilitate a family session(s).
