About Teen & Adolescent Therapy

The tween and teen years bring immense turmoil. Young males and females work to transition from childhood to adulthood. There's a biological need for independence. This helps them successfully "launch" from the family nest. But this desire is often tangled with fear. They fear a world without safety nets. Our modern world offers choices without limits. Young people are struggling more than ever before. They often grapple with what they are and what they want to be.

This challenging time can introduce sadness, frustration, and anger into parent-child relationships. These emotions can lead to hurtful responses from both sides.
