Teen Services
Being a teenager is really hard.
Like really hard.
You probably have noticed that people treat you like a kid but expect you to act like an adult. You feel like you have no one to talk to about everything that has happened this year or everything changing around you. Sometimes you feel like you are going to explode and there is no one that really gets it.
Maybe there is a ton of adulting you need to do but it feels stressful, overwhelming, and sometimes dumb. Talking to your parents does not always go the way you want and you just want things to feel better and be easier.
Being a teenager right now doesn’t have to suck. I can help you with the hard stuff. It may look like figuring out the next steps in your life, talking to your parents, being less stressed about school. It might just be finally saying all the stuff you are thinking out loud to someone who can be understanding.
Let’s schedule a time to talk and see if we would be a good fit.
Parents
Raising a teenager is hard work! And despite all the unknowns, you are doing your best.
You are probably looking to give your kiddo an outlet for all their up-and-down emotions. You may want them to find ways to deal with their emotions without constantly melting down or depending on you for everything. You may be looking to help your wild one to know the difference between when they can solve a problem and when to ask for help instead of coming to you when it all blows up in their face.
Maybe some tough stuff happened in your family and you are looking to help you and your family heal. Sometimes grief, divorce, moving, blended family awkwardness, or senior stuff makes just being together difficult. No family is perfect but that doesn’t have to stop your family from connecting and communicating well.
Maybe your teen is just not responding to life well right now. That is more normal than you think. Teens are not miniature adults. They can’t always communicate in words- they express themselves in clothes, actions, and trying to gain control of the things around them. If you are seeing more stress, sadness, attitude (more than normal), or risky decisions and just don’t know how to help, it may be time to do something different. I will help both of you grow the tools to make breakthroughs in your relationship and communicate in healthier ways that bring you closer.
I can help support your goals. I take the time to hear your needs, guide you through repairing your relationship, and tweak issues in communication. Don’t believe the myths out there. You don’t have to wait until adulthood to connect with your kid.
You can have a fulfilling relationship with your teen now.
