Teen and Adolescent Issues

I have had much success in working with adolescents and teens. When I lived in NYC I worked at a teen counseling outpatient center where I did individual counseling with teens as well as supportive group therapy. It’s extremely important for teens to feel comfortable enough with a therapist to be able to open up and share their thoughts and feelings.

Adolescence can be a turbulent time, they deal with pressures at school to do well academically as well as social pressures of wanting to fit in and be accepted by their peers. Their bodies are also going through some physiological changes which can also affect their mood and well-being.

Some of the issues I have helped teens work through include anxiety issues, peer pressure, bullying, ADHD, stress management and many others. I truly enjoy working with these young people because their minds are very open to learning as well as receiving feedback.

If you have a teen that is struggling and could benefit from counseling, please feel free to contact me to set up an evaluation.
