Adolescent Counseling
Teen Counseling Services at The Center for Hope and Healing
At The Center for Hope and Healing, we understand that navigating the challenges of adolescence can be overwhelming for both teens and their families. That's why we offer a range of counseling services tailored specifically to address teenagers' unique struggles and concerns. Our focus is guiding teenagers away from negative behaviors and towards self-discovery and growth.
We are equipped to handle many mental health challenges facing teens today. We aim to help our young clients build a brighter and healthier future by fostering self-esteem and promoting positive change. Psychiatric disorders are common during the teenage years, and seeking support at this stage can be beneficial, even if a diagnosable disorder is absent.
If you are concerned about your teenager's behavior or emotions, The Center for Hope and Healing is here to help. Our team is skilled in understanding the complexities of adolescent development and can distinguish between typical teen challenges and issues that require treatment.
Presenting Problems
Our teen counseling services are effective in addressing a variety of challenges that adolescents may face, including:
- Anxiety around performance in school, peer relationships, and overall self-esteem-based issues.
- Depression (usually seen by parents first as withdrawal, drug use or high-risk behaviors, and lack of engagement in school)
- Self-harming behaviors such as cutting, eating-based issues, or substance abuse.
- Issues of self-esteem (affecting social media use or relationships with peers at school; can also be related to performance in schools or lack of trust within the parent-child relationship)
Treatment Methods
Our team of experienced therapists and counselors utilize several evidence-based treatment methods to help our teen clients build resilience and develop the skills they need to navigate the challenges of adolescence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
This traditional talk therapy helps teens build rapport with their therapists and teaches them to speak differently to themselves, developing new thought patterns and behaviors.
Experiential-Based Therapy
Our therapists use role plays to model and teach different interaction-based techniques for dealing with peers and other social situations.
Family Therapy
We work with teens and their families to build healthier parent-child relationships, educate and support teens' developmental stage and current needs, and enhance family communication and problem-solving skills.
Collaborative Care
If a teen needs more support, we collaborate with psychiatrists and school personnel to provide additional care and resources for more significant anxiety, self-harming behavior, and other issues.
Helping Teens Facing Adversity
At The Center for Hope and Healing, we understand that everyone sometimes faces difficulties, whether with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue. Challenges are a part of life, and even the strongest individuals can benefit from support in overcoming them. There is always hope for a brighter future.
With the increased needs of teens and families, we are dedicated to providing a supportive community and comprehensive care. Our goal is to help our clients discover a sense of purpose and address their unique challenges, fostering a sense of hope and optimism for their future.
