Psychotherapy for Adolescents
Working with adolescents is a special world all its own. These amazing individuals are not children, nor are they adults; they’re in a transforming growth period where they’re leaving the dependency of childhood behind and embracing self-reliance. It can be a painful time of life, but it doesn’t have to be.
During these years, adolescents are learning to make decisions and to decide which values they will embrace. It’s a fluid time when values fluctuate from week to week, but it’s a very real process and needs to be appreciated.
In my practice, I work with adolescents who have:
- anxiety
- low self esteem
- depression
- anger and defiant disorders
- developmental delays
- grief and traumatic experiences
- relationship issues with peers and family members
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- bullying
- victims of bullying
- eating disorders
With all their pressures, adolescents may become isolated, alienated, and feel disillusioned. As a psychotherapist I can help your son or daughter work through these difficult times and transitions.
Call for an appointment and we’ll discuss a treatment plan for your adolescent. There really is hope.
