Our culture places incredible stress on teens.  The most common trait of adolescents is extreme self-consciousness.  Physiological changes, social pressure, academics, and family conflict often contribute to their inability to cope.    Parents see changes in their child through  encouragement, education, boundaries, and social skills training. 

Issues addressed in therapy include:

• Depression/anxiety                       
• Academic problems
• Substance abuse
• Parental conflict
• Low motivation
• Blended family
• Self-injury
• Inappropriate boundaries
