adolescents
Navigating the challenges of adolescence can be overwhelming for both teenagers and their parents, leading to communication breakdowns, emotional distress, and a sense of helplessness. If you're noticing significant changes in your teenager's behavior or emotions, seeking therapy can provide the support and guidance you both need during this crucial time. 757 therapy offers a safe and confidential space for your teenager to express themselves, work through their concerns, and develop essential coping skills for lifelong resilience.
what is teen therapy?
Teenagers have unique needs when it comes to therapy. Through different ages, we pass through distinct phases of critical development, each with its own specific tasks, capabilities, and limitations. The adolescent years can lead to many different challenges in navigating the middle ground between childhood and adulthood. This is why therapy is the place for teenagers to fully process and understand their daily emotions and behaviors. It can help with many issues such as behavior concerns, self-esteem, substance abuse, or any other problems that occur while growing up.
about teen therapy
Therapy specially designed for individuals aged 14-19 considers the developmental stages of the adolescent years, as well as the ability to build a trusting relationship. The teenage years are when we learn critical lessons about ourselves and the world around us. The issues teenagers face certainly have the ability to follow them well into adulthood.
Teens tend to work best in therapy when they feel they have a sense of autonomy and confidentiality. As your therapist, I ask that parents or guardians join for the first few minutes of our initial session so that I can talk with them about the importance of confidentiality and the need for privacy.
