Adolescents

The teen years are a time of change, new experiences, and growth for most adolescents. While this can be very exciting and fun, it often presents difficult challenges. Some difficulties commonly experienced by adolescent children are:

Low self-esteem
Feelings of loneliness
Feeling misunderstood
Anxiety
Depression
Relationship issues

It can be difficult for an adolescent to work through some of these concerns alone. And for some teens, it is a challenge to find someone they can trust. Individual therapy provides a safe atmosphere that is built on trust. Therapy can address any of the issues listed above. Some additional benefits of therapy include:

Increased self-confidence
Finding a balance between independence and maintaining the connection with family
Improved decision making skills
Identifying future goals/achieving goals
Increased understanding of personal responsibility
