Teen Counseling – Adolescent Counseling
- Are you deeply worried that your adolescent or pre-adolescent child is slipping away from you. Or even worse, do you fear you’ve lost the relationship?
- Do you suspect or know your daughter/son is abusing alcohol or other drugs? Are you wondering or confused about how to help?
- Is he/she showing signs of self-harm or mental illness?
- Are you are sad when noticing your child seems distant, uncommunicative, or angry; usually with you?
- Does it seem like your teen is ruining their life, your life, and the life of your family?
- Do you ever feel lost and inadequate as a parent?
You can have a more likeable, friendly, and respectful teen back again
As a counselor for teens and their parents, I have helped many despairing parents and resistant adolescents work through this challenging developmental stage. Much can be done; regardless of how “far gone” they might seem.
Through parent and teen counseling, I can help you:
- Understand this developmental stage and your child’s behavior.
- Regain your power as a parent and learn strategies that really work.
- Get your teenager talking to you again without becoming combative.
- Find out if your adolescent is abusing alcohol or other drugs and, if so, learn effective responses.
Adolescence will be, more or less, awkward and painful; for you or your child. Give your adolescent the support and love they need to make a healthy transition to adulthood. I can work with your adolescent and you to make some visible improvements through counseling.
If you don’t think your teenager will come to a counseling session, I have strategies for that too.
