Adolescent Counseling and Young Adult Therapy

Adolescent Counseling and Young Adult Therapy (Ages 13-21)

Working Through Separation, Managing Stress, Developing Personal Interests

Adolescence presents unique challenges and shifting dynamics, as teens enter high school and move on to college. Increasing academic demands and social pressures, along with opportunities to form new connections and develop passionate interests, make this a combustible, yet potentially deeply rewarding period. Many teenagers and young adults welcome the opportunity to have added support from a therapist as they begin to take on more independence, make difficult choices about college and career paths, and form deeper friendships and romantic relationships. Adolescents and their parents also often need help negotiating their relationship roles during this transitional time. Finding the the right balance between fostering independence and providing support can be difficult for many families.
