Therapy for teens
Adolescence is a confusing time for parents too. This is a perfect time to think together about healthy risk taking, connect through vulnerability, non-judgemental guidance about decision making, use mindfulness to find space before impulsive behavior or track stuck internal or relational patterns, as well as recognize and build on unique personal qualities, talents or strengths.
When teens struggle emotionally, they tend to draw in or lash out. We tackle a wide range of adolescence issues to help teens and their parents tackle the internal and external pressures of life.
Mood, anxiety & social difficulties
Anger management, conflict and emotion regulation
Academic pressure and learning difficulties
Attention, hyperactivity and executive function
Trauma & stress
Oppositional and explosive behaviors
Medical and health issues
Change, loss and bereavement
Family structure or systems change - adoption, separation/divorce, blended families, birth of sibling, moving
Adolescence pushes us all to redefine our relationship, or limit it. It’s a time to listen, grow curious, pull deep in our courage as a parents, root into the love we have given our kids up to this point. That love lives in them even when they show the opposite. We may have unconsciously passed down some unhealthy patterns but are unsure how to turn this around.
