Counseling For Teens
The teenage years are some of the hardest! Even with the best parenting, this can be a rocky time for any family.
Therapy can often be very beneficial for teens during this time of life. My teen clients say they enjoy coming to see me because I am younger than other therapists they have seen the past; they feel that they can relate to and open up with me. Parents enjoy bringing their teen to me because they appreciate my competency and my ability to connect with their teen.
I work with teens on a variety of issues (both in individual and family therapy). Some of these issues include:
Academic problems
Argumentativeness
Family conflict or instability
Lying and deception
Curfew violations
Cutting and self mutilation
Defiant behavior
Difficult life transitions
Friends
Relationships
Conflict
Peer Pressure
Coping with change
