Teens struggle with unique issues such as identity struggles, peer pressure, social media influence and fitting in. There is an inherent struggle with exerting independence and needing strong parental guidance and support. This can cause a lot of parental/child conflict.
I possess a strong understanding of the developmental challenges of today’s teenagers. Counseling techniques include minimization of negative self-talk that impacts self-esteem and emotional growth. I will work to help your child create balance in their school work, social and extracurricular activities, while minimizing depression, anxiety and worrying about negative outcomes.
