Adolescent and Teen Therapy

Counseling for Children, Adolescents, and Teens

Adolescent and Teen Therapy teen theraphy 1 300x200It is a daunting task to raise a child in the world we currently live in. Childhood depression has increased over the years, estimated to affect 9% of adolescents 12-17 years of age. Anxiety affects 25.1% of 13-18 year olds. And nearly 35 million children report experiencing at least 1 childhood trauma.

With the excessive amount of exposure to disturbing events happening so often, sometimes it feels that everywhere we turn (television, social media, work, school, etc.) we see and hear about really scary stuff. It makes sense that adolescents and teens develop intense fears and anxieties. Disturbing events and fears can also cause anger and inappropriate behaviors, which can be especially confusing for caregivers to navigate.

Counseling can be an amazing and much-needed resource when these fears, anxieties and behaviors create too much difficulty for a child to properly function, or too much conflict within the family. Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, suicidal thoughts, anger and acting out behaviors are all indicators that an adolescent or teenager may benefit from psychotherapy services.
