Adolescent Counseling

It is ok to feel overwhelmed by your teenager’s emotions and dysregulation. It is their developmental task to figure out how to manage themselves through this turbulent phase of brain and body changes. Unfortunately, you are past the spoon feeding phase of assisting them but you can learn how to support them to grow in healthy ways.

Teens are usually craving more independent space to talk about thier lives and learn about improving their emotional intelligence. If they struggle desiring this independence, they may need help to challenge themselves to grow in this area. I work with teens and their parents to address the needs unique to thier personal struggles. When possible and if appropriate with their growth plan, we may have sessions that include parents, siblings, the whole family, etc.

I do not specialize in Assessment and Diagnosis; I focus on treatment and intervention to address the problematic behaviors and emotional dysregulation your child, family, or self might be experiencing. If you need to obtain a professional evaluation with full write-up and paperwork, please look for Psychologists and Diagnostic Practices who focus specifically on the specialty of Evaluation and Assessment.
