Teen years can be an exciting time of exploration of identity. This time can also be a time of great sensitivity, stress and risk taking. Adolescence can take its toll on a person’s well-being and cause difficulties with self-management. Counseling may be the answer if parents have attempted and failed to reach their child. It is not uncommon for adolescents to isolate or keep struggles to themselves. Parents can struggle with determining whether their child’s behavior is typical adolescent behavior or the beginning of an emotional or mental health crisis. Counseling can become a safe place for your family to get a clearer picture of what may be going on and provide a safe place for your teen to recover.
