Family and individual sessions
Being a teenager is difficult. You are no longer a child, but you are not an adult either. Your parents want a lot of you, your school wants a lot of you and you also have dreams and wishes for yourself. As if that was not enough pressure, you also are likely dealing with friends' opinions, social media drama and a pandemic. So, it is natural if you are feeling out of sorts, anxious, down or simply overwhelmed by life. That's where we come in. We help you be healthier. We process things with you, help you set good goals, but mostly we validate your experience and walk with you during difficult times. Call us today to see why so many teens enjoy coming to our sessions.
For parents of teenagers:
Are you struggling to help your moody, depressed or anxious teen? We can help. We love improving the life of teenagers. Over the past 20 years we have treated teenagers.
The teenager years can be frustrating for parents and teens alike. Teenagers often are growing and developing their own personality. This can be a painful and complicated process. Sometimes depression and anxiety are also present. Some parents feel unprepared to deal with these issues. Other parents want to help but may get push back from the teenager.
The adolescent developmental stage includes teens becoming more independent. They also need to separate a bit from parents. It is frustrating. Parents can feel that teenagers are not confiding in them. Sometimes any feedback given is received in a defensive manner. Other times the teenager is moody or responds in a negative way.
Our mutual goal is usually a healthier adjusted teenager. Teenagers usually look forward coming to talk to us. We are authentic and empathetic while also giving them rules/boundaries. This usually translates to a healthier teen.
Sometimes we meet with just the teenagers. Often we will involve the family during treatment as you are in child's expert. In rare occasions behavior issues.
