Being an adolescent or teenager is some of the most challenging times an individual faces. It is a time when an individual’s intelligence and social skills are constantly developing. Sometimes children and teenagers experience unusual emotions that they cannot comprehend or engage in risky behaviors that can impact their ability to attain happiness or thrive. In such instances, a referral to a mental health professional for counseling or therapy can be very beneficial.
While adolescent and teen therapy can be one-on-one between the child or teen and their mental health professional, the parents and even siblings can be included for a family session. The family sessions can help create a comfortable, safe space for everyone to express their concerns so they can grow together and become a stronger and happier family unit. After all, such challenges faced by a child or teen impact the entire family unit.
If you believe your adolescent or teen can benefit from therapy, you should contact us for an initial consultation and intake appointment. Therapy may require as few as 6 sessions or can continue on the long-term basis.
