Teenagers
Being a teenager can be an incredibly difficult time. From navigating friendships, to college applications, to getting along with parents and siblings, there is a lot going on at the same time. We understand it can be a very confusing time and are here to join with you to ensure your needs are being met. Some of the most common concerns we see in our practice with teenagers range from having a hard time focusing in classes, bullying, ADHD and impulse control, getting along with family members, depression and anxiety, grief and loss, to being in a relationship for the first time.
We work with our teens to set strong boundaries in their lives to feel more confident and in control of their lives by assisting them in making their own choices. You will learn stress management techniques, one of these techniques being mindfulness to help you stay present with what is happening in the present moment.
At Living Within Therapy we specialize in working with teenagers and pride ourselves in being allies of the LGBTQIA+ population as well as neurodiverse clients. We connect in an authentic manner to our teens to understand what the core issues are so that we can assist them in building coping and problem solving skills. We pride ourselves in really hearing you rather than telling you what to do so that you feel empowered. We often involve parents as long as our teens allow as sometimes the issues that teens come in with stem from dysfunctional family dynamics.
