Adolescents

Is your adolescent struggling to manage their overwhelming emotions? Has your teen lost motivation in their academics, extracurricular activities, or relationships?  Is your teen engaging in self-destructive or age-inappropriate behaviors that need attention?  We know it can be daunting to know how to navigate your adolescent’s teen years.  You’re not alone, and whatever your teen is facing, we can help.

Adolescence is a difficult time.  They are experiencing changes physically, emotionally, and socially, all while trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in.  Whether your adolescent is experiencing a crisis, family conflict, academic difficulty, feeling anxious or depressed, or experiencing difficulty in their relationships, we can help.  Many teens are hesitant to open up to their parents for fear they will be punished, disciplined, or ignored.  Having a safe, trusted counselor for your teen to talk to provides an outlet in which they can begin to learn how to process their feelings and develop healthy coping skills.

You do not have to face your adolescent’s teen years alone anymore.  At Known Counseling, we will help your teen navigate their experience by helping them manage their anxiety or depression, gain control of their emotions, develop coping skills, develop empathy for others, enhance their self-regulation, and help them gain a sense of self to increase their self-esteem and self-confidence.
