THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL YEARS OFTEN SUCK. THERAPY CAN HELP GET YOU THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES.
Adolescence can be a period of disorientation and discovery, when important issues of independence and identity come to light. It is a time of many transitions, including physical changes, evolving relationships with parents and peers, and concerns about the future.
Teens may face a range of difficult problems including anxiety, depression, stress and family conflicts. Peer influence and external appearance tend to increase in importance during this time, and sometimes teens may begin to experiement with alcohol, drugs and sex. Talking to a therapist can help adolescents work through these issues to make healthier choices, understand and share their emotions, and overcome the stresses of teenage life.
Be who you are and say what you feel because people who mind don’t matter and people who matter don’t mind.
