Adolescent Therapy
We help adolescents navigate their transition into adulthood.
Adolescence is a significant transitional phase of life. A young person experiences profound and rapid changes during adolescence: physically, cognitively, emotionally, neurobiologically, and socially. While this time can be enriching, there can be many challenges, leading to feelings of confusion, frustration, loneliness, anger, sadness, shame and anxiety, not only for the adolescent but also for their family as they navigate the intensity of this time together.
Addressing any emerging mental health concerns through therapy during this time is important for a young person to learn how to effectively manage stressors and transition into adulthood.
