Teens go through more socially and emotionally currently than many adults can relate to. Teens need people around them to listen and support them. Often, teens are reluctant to talk to their parents about their concerns for many reasons. Embarrassment, shame and fear are just a few of the reasons. As a counselor I listen to their concerns as a "neutral" person which is often what they want. Teens are in a difficult stage in their life and it can have it's challenges often making the risks higher. It's better to catch the problems early. I'm here to meet with you the parents/caregivers to help you and your teen. I use the tried and true approach of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. As a Christian counselor, I'm available to incorporate faith in our work together. Please reach out if you are concerned about your child/ teen.
