Teen Counseling
Typical Teen Problems that Can Be Addressed in Counseling
-
Does your teen frequently seem sad, depressed, or withdrawn?
-
Does your teen's anxiety get in the way of optimal exam or standardized test scores (i.e. the SATs). Do you notice or does your teen's scores on these exams/tests are not consistent with his or her abilities? Coaching for test anxiety can help!
-
Does your teen struggle with behavioral problems such as temper outbursts, defiance, or bullying?
-
Does your teen have problems making or keeping friendships?
-
Has your teen experienced physical, sexual, or verbal abuse?
-
Have you noticed marks, cuts or burns that you suspect or know are self inflicted?
-
Was there a recent death, loss, or change in your family that has caused changes in your teen's mood, interest in activities, school performance?
-
Has your teen developed an illogical fear or phobia?
