Counseling Services for Teenagers and Parents

We offer counseling services for teenagers and their parents—the teenage years can be a tough time for both. Our therapists for teens specialize in addressing common issues amongst teens, including:

• Bullying
• Substance abuse
• Self-harm
• Eating disorders
• Gender identity
• Peer pressure
• Academic issues
• Behavioral problems
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Confidence issues
• Withdrawal from friends and family
• Expression of emotions
• More

If your teen is dealing with any of the above or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. In addition to working directly with teens, we can also offer counseling services to parents who are struggling to know how to respond to their teens’ behavior and support their teens during this difficult stage of life. 

What to Expect from Counseling

Counseling is a very personal experience, and no two counseling sessions will look exactly alike for different patients. With that in mind, individual therapy usually involves:

• Establishing some goals for therapy and desirable outcomes.
• Identifying emotions—learning new ways to describe emotions and identify them, including identifying physical responses. 
• Considering a new perspective and looking at different events and feelings in a new light. Challenging one’s perspective is a key part of therapy.
• Learning coping skills for managing emotions and making a choice about how emotions impact behaviors. 

For parents and teens who want to come into therapy for sessions together, a big focus of the therapy will be on improving communication and empathy between the parties. Parent therapy for teens is focused on learning how to best support your teen and yourself during this time. 

Why Choose Counseling Therapy?

Choosing counseling for yourself, your teen, or both is a big decision. It’s a decision that can be intimidating at first—you may not know what to expect from therapy, and you and your teen may both be resistant to the idea of talking to a stranger about your problems. The truth is, however, that therapy can help you to realize that you are not alone, can provide a feeling of support and hopefulness, and can help you to learn extremely important skills for dealing with the challenges of life, especially for teens. Therapy can help to improve one’s sense of happiness and satisfaction in life, lead to behavioral improvements, mitigate detrimental and destructive behaviors, and create a stronger sense of trust and unity in your family.
