Hinsdale Teen Counseling

Teenagers today are faced with more difficulties than teens of the past – issues that are compounded by social media use, access to drugs and alcohol, and societal pressures to look and act in a certain way. At Life Insight, we know that for teens, issues like depression and anxiety, self-doubt, eating disorders, and more are all serious problems that teens are facing, and we want to help. If your teen is struggling, our Hinsdale teen counseling services from Life Insight may provide the guidance and help they need. Reach out to us today to learn more.

Struggling Is Normal – Counseling Can Help

If your teen is struggling to connect with others, is having difficulty in school, is having a hard time forming social connections and relationships, is acting out or getting in trouble with the law, or is expressing feelings of anxiety, lack of confidence, or hopelessness, therapy can help. At Life Insight, we work with teens who are struggling with:

• Depression;
• Self-harm;
• Anxiety;
• Relationships;
• Lack of confidence and self-esteem;
• Substance abuse issues;
• Eating disorders;
• Trauma;
• Grief; and
• More.

While it can be intimidating for a teen to take the first steps towards working with a therapist, doing so can prove to be very effective and helpful. 

Why Teen Therapy Is Important

Parents often struggle with knowing what’s a normal developmental issue and what’s something to be concerned about. For example, is your teen just demonstrating angst because of their age, or their depression something that you should be seeking help for? When you don’t feel like you have the answers and aren’t sure where to go, a teen therapist can help. Studies show that teen counseling services can be a very effective tool for uncovering the source of emotions and behaviors and helping parents and teens alike understand how to take positive steps in the future. At Life Insight, our counselors can work with you as well as your teen to help you learn how, as a parent, you can understand your teen and provide them with the support and services they need. When teens who are struggling with big issues, like depression, do not get the treatment they need, these issues can become even more problematic, and sometimes even dangerous.
