Whether your child is struggling with typical life stressors like academics, social pressures and family relationships, or has experienced a major change or trauma, adolescence is a uniquely challenging time in the lives of our children and can impact the entire family. Emotions are heightened and interactions can become heated quickly. Understanding your adolescent’s motivations and behavior would be helpful. A good explanation is not often something they have to provide. As parents we can sense when assistance is needed. Counseling can help.
Typically, counseling an adolescent goes beyond individual work. I work with adolescents and their families to better understand and address the dynamics at play which may be causing difficulty in their lives. I teach emotion regulation skills, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness exercises to assist in creating a more balanced environment and increase communication.
