Individual Therapy for Teens

There is a concern!

You notice a change in their grades.

They are speaking less and less to you.

When you ask, “How are you doing?” all you get for an answer is “fine” or “alright.”

Observing your teen, you do not see the same person in front of you whom you once knew.

What is wrong?

Teens deal with a variety of concerns. Many of them don’t feel comfortable speaking to their parents about the challenges they face.

The apparent concerns that may come to mind are trying to get good grades, worries about getting into the right school, and fear of rejection from peers.

The more obscure concerns could be the feelings of being overwhelmed, fear of disappointing you, self-consciousness of how they look, lack of confidence, difficulty making friends, or feeling they don’t fit.

Is there a possible solution?

Give your teen the support and guidance they need during this time. The well-known saying, “It takes a village,” remains true. Parental guidance is excellent, and adding therapeutic support can be the missing piece that your teen needs.

Therapy will be a team effort. Your teen will be able to gain insight and skills that will allow them to become more confident, find their voice, and feel empowered to face everyday challenges. As the parent, you will be a part of the care team by supporting them in their therapeutic journey and being able to express your concerns and observations as well.

During each session, I prioritize creating an environment where they feel safe, not judged, and honestly heard. I tailor all sessions to their individual needs.

Your teen’s goals and concerns will guide the session. I may provide therapeutic-based homework to help them practice and solidify the skills they learn.

Help your teen gain success!

Remember, there is no expectation for you to go through this beautiful life alone. You and your teen can get through the storm together and come out the other side, finding the sun shining bright with hope.

The difficulties and frustrations you face now don’t have to persist.

Gain an ally and provide a trusted resource for your teen so they can make positive changes in their life, ones that help them reach the dreams they have always envisioned.
