Are you trying to understand what is going on with your teen? Does the constant mood changes of your teen leave you feeling confused and concerned? We know that communicating with your teen is not easy. We can help your teen overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression of which is causing the disconnect.

At this stage of development, teens struggle with some internal battles. For instance, recognizing their unique identity; transitioning from childhood while taking on more and more aspects of adulthood, developing independence while maintaining healthy family bonds. These transitions can lead to anxiety and depression.

Our goal is to provide a safe space to learn to communicate effectively and improve relationships with others and themselves. As a result, anxiety symptoms will decrease.

Think of group therapy as a forum for teens to practice their social skills and work through social obstacles. In groups, they have the opportunity to voice their opinions, work on their ability to listen and engage in conversation with their peers. In addition, teens can test the interpersonal skills they learn from the therapist without fearing being judged. As a result, they can boost their social confidence, as well as their communication skills.

Groups offer a sense of community and support. It’s an excellent way to support individual counseling goals. Groups allow teens to see they are not alone with their feelings and thoughts.
