Adolescent Counseling
Being an adolescent is tough. This is the beginning of body and hormone changes, increasing social expectations, managing responsibilities, building and maintaining relationships, having more awareness about the world around us, and comparing ourselves to social “norm” standards. Adolescents are surrounded by pressure – from parents, teachers, friends, peers, and extended family members. It’s easy to see how these pressures can bring out some of the most common emotional challenges that adolescents face today.

For many adolescents, it is hard to open-up and express the daily mixture of emotions. Having an outlet to express and unload these feelings can be very helpful, not only emotionally, but also physically. Through counseling and support, adolescents can build a therapeutic relationship that provides a judgement-free zone to reflect on challenges, explore opportunities for growth, and implement new thoughts and actions for better overall self-management of emotional and behavioral needs.
