Adolescents may go through various emotional experiences as they grow into adulthood. The transitions from middle school to high school, from high school to beyond, bodily and hormonal changes, family and peer relationships, academics, and more cause shifts in emotional states. New experiences abound in adolescence. It’s not uncommon for adolescents to require the help of a mental health professional outside of the support they get from their parents or guardians.
Available Treatment Options
Adolescents benefit from counseling interventions depending on their specific concerns. Mental health disorders may emerge before or during adolescence. Therapists may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adolescents dealing with anxiety or depression to reduce negative symptoms related to life experiences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can help adolescents experiencing suicidal ideation or self-harm by working with opposing thoughts and mindfulness.
Therapy for adolescents is to help them manage difficult emotions that arise from their changing circumstances and develop tools to be successful, happy adults.
Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Those Who Struggle With Adolescent Issues
I work with clients who may be struggling with family conflict, partnership phase of life issues and individuals seeking to meet their goals through strength-based methods to build confidence, empower families and partners to move relationships to the next level. During our initial sessions, we will explore the presenting issues then collaborate to create a strength-base goals plan.
We offer a wide range of counseling services, including individual counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and more. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each of our clients.
Life problems can create feelings of depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and anxiety. In therapy we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why, we can begin to make the necessary changes for a happier, more fulfilling life. I believe therapy is a collaborative process.
