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.
