The focus of adolescent counseling will be to explore identity and sense of self, improve self-esteem, and problem solve obstacles in their life. Therapy will include talking, exploratory games and activities to help the child express thoughts and feelings. Often, this requires some family therapy in addition to meeting with the adolescent.
I know how hard it can be on the whole family when your child is hurting or acting out. I offer adolescent counseling and play therapy to support children and teenagers with a variety of mood disorders and anxiety struggles.

Not every counselor enjoys treating children. We happen to think they're awesome. No offense, but kids reach their goals much quicker than adults and are avid doers!! They are problem solvers and don't have all those years of tough experiences that sometimes jade us the older we get. Send your kid over! You may feel so inspired after you see their change that you decide to come and visit us for yourself!
I have the privilege of seeing tremendous results using my training, experience, and resources with those I have the honor of working with who have the challenge of different issues related to growing as a child or adolescent.
