Can you help my teen?
Adolescents are a unique population, and we treat them as such. Remember being a teen? The pressures of school, peers and extra-curriculars all while experiencing intense hormone changes and major brain development. Flash forward to today’s teens and add in social media, technology in every corner and a global pandemic! You can see the mounting stressors that make daily life as a teen feel relentless.
Teens are looking to feel a sense of belonging; some sense of fitting in and “doing it right.” At this point in their lives, they are pushing away from you (I know, it hurts!) and are turning towards peers for comfort. In working with this specialized population, we work support teens and their parents. We want your teen to feel heard and understood while also improving their relationship with YOU. With all the struggle that tends to naturally occur between parents and adolescents, it is our aim to assist with lessening that battle. We provide (and encourage the use of) family therapy to enhance appreciation of each other and to learn how to communicate in a meaningful way. After all, you built this family…don’t you want to enjoy each other?
