Adolescent therapy
Support for teens and young adults aged 12 to 21, tailored to each young person’s stage of development.
“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.”
Alden Nowlan
Common concerns
— School and learning problems
— Conflict between parents and teens
— Depression
— Anxiety
— Video game and drug addiction
How it works
— Treatment tailored to each teen’s age and abilities
— For teens who find talking hard: cards and board games build rapport while we talk about real life
— For older teens: conversation much like adult therapy
— A safe place, empathic listening, and questions that help tell their story
— The therapist is an advocate for — and a fan of — the teen’s efforts and achievements
Working with parents
— Parent involvement is an important part of treatment
— Regular check-ins on progress
