The transition from childhood to adulthood, better known as the teenage years, is a critical time in everyone’s life. This is when young adults begin to form their own unique identity that defines who they are. This stage is not only troublesome for teenagers but for the whole family as well. Teens may begin to challenge parents and other adult authorities, which tests their boundaries and can fuel many challenges. Although it can be a trying time, it can also be amazing to watch your adolescent transition into a young adult.
There are numerous emotional strains affecting your teen that may sometimes result in the need for psychotherapy. Teens today face so much more pressure during their developmental stages than ever before. Issues like low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, self-injury, sleeplessness, eating disorders and substance abuse need to be addressed, not ignored. There are also times when avoiding real problems can have an unhealthy impact on your teen’s ability to cope with daily life. Between You and Me Counseling offers the appropriate counseling your teen needs to work through the issues inhibiting them from living their lives to the fullest.
We believe that it is important for teens to see a counselor who is equipped to counsel adolescents, someone who understands the teenage mind and the struggles they face.
