ADOLESCENTS
The preteen and teenage years can be a period of disorientation and discovery, when important issues of independence and identity begin to surface. Young adults may face a range of challenges at this time of transition in their lives, from depression and anxiety, to friendship or dating difficulties and social pressures, to academic stress and family conflict. Teenagers sometimes begin risk taking behaviors, struggle with self-esteem, or question aspects of their identity, like sexual orientation and gender.
Teens need a therapist who is on their side that they can trust to talk about the very real stresses of teenage life. We work with adolescents to help them express and share their emotions, understand themselves better, work through issues, and begin to make healthier choices.
At River Psychology Group, we use evidence-based approaches to support adolescents effectively. We:
Establish trust and a non-judgmental environment.
Tailor therapy to address specific challenges and goals.
Help adolescents manage emotions, stress, and difficult situations.
Provide guidance on expressing thoughts and feelings effectively.
Work with parents and caregivers to create a supportive home environment, when needed.
Continuously assess and adapt therapy to meet the adolescent's evolving needs.
If you believe your teen could benefit from therapy, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
