Teen Therapy
Sometimes, you feel like someone flipped a switch in your sweet child's brain.
Your child has been replaced by a restless, anxious teen.
You worry that the bad moments with your kid will outweigh the good ones.
Sometimes, Teens Have a Hard Time Processing Change
Major life changes, such as starting school are hard for teens to process. The confusion and discomfort they’re feeling often appear in the form of behavior issues. Maybe, your teen is currently experiencing a major change in their life. Teens can’t cope with uncertainty. It makes them unsure of what will happen next.
Some symptoms of anxiety in teens include:
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Trouble sleeping or fatigue
- Muscle tension
As a Parent, You Want to Help Your Teen Overcome Their Anxiety
Teens look to others for reassurance. This can cause you anxiety as well. Especially, if you fear they are turning to the wrong sources for reassurance. It’s common for teens to suffer from anxiety, but we can help. Our therapists work with teens every day to increase their coping skills and try to understand their feelings.
Teenage Years Are a Time of Transition, New Feelings, and Navigating Challenges
Right now, your teen is trying to figure out who they are and who they want to be. This can also be a frustrating and stressful time for parents. Does your teen seem overly stressed or anxious?
