Laura Goldstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
A teen's main development task is to figure out who they are in this world. And as our world keeps getting more complicated, this task gets more difficult. During adolescence, teens are sorting through all sorts of internal struggles. They may be dealing with conflicting feelings, conflicting pressures between friends and family, conflicting desires, values and goals, and more. Ultimately, this often leaves them feeling alone and confused. And, because parents can be source of this pressure, they are not the best at helping their teen work through this confusion. This is exactly why teens need a therapist that is a dedicated and neutral person that can help them sort through their feelings and goals.
