Being a teenager is hard – and being the parent of one can be even more difficult. Counseling for teens and parent education can help. As parents we want our teens to be confident and happy with themselves, have good social and financial skills, build strong relationships, be responsible with their health, pursue meaningful extracurriculars, be successful in school — and ultimately successful in building their own careers and families.
We have a natural rapport with teens and are able to talk them through the myriad of issues that arise in their world. Through our training and experience, we can help teens take charge of their life, grow their confidence and build the foundation for their best life.
A good percentage of our practice is devoted to helping teenagers cope with their ever-changing world. Our therapists work with issues including body image, social media, self-harm, peer relationships, bullying, college transition and more. Contact us and let’s work together to help your teen maneuver through life’s challenges.
Adolescence is indeed a complicated phase of life. It truly strikes me how often we remove ourselves so far away from the very developmental process we were all once a part of. Weren’t we all teens at some point?
As a mother, it was painful to witness my children’s deep grief. I felt helpless but knew they had to find their way. No amount of effort could make up for how much they missed their dad and I felt lost in my attempts to navigate parenting by myself.
We know self-esteem is vital in a teen’s life and that a healthy level makes it more likely they will be motivated to do their best and try new things.
