As a parent, you’re worried about your teen and may feel like you've hit a roadblock. Perhaps you’re exhausted from too many arguments or worried because they won’t talk to you. Teen therapy can help.
Teens often feel confident one moment and confused and self-critical the next. They may be balancing a number of peer, academic, and extracurricular pressures that leave them stressed out. At times they may feel isolated, misunderstood, and depressed. They may wrestle with negative thoughts and even engage in harmful behaviors.
Therapy allows teens to explore their feelings and experiences with a caring, objective, and trained adult. They can gain a better understanding of themselves, learn positive strategies to cope with their feelings, and navigate more smoothly through adolescence.
