Are you frustrated with your teen and afraid he or she may be on the wrong path? Do you feel helpless watching a teen who is sad, confused or getting in trouble? Is it hard to tell if what you see is normal teenage angst, or the signs of a more serious problem?
As a counselor for teens, I help parents find answers to important questions and help teens solve their problems. I offer individual, group and family counseling for teens and their families.
I have years of experience working with high-risk teens and those with normal adolescent issues. Over the past several years, I have worked with adolescents in both residential and outpatient settings. I have worked with teens in locked mental health facilities, in Juvenile Hall, at various agencies and in private practice.
Some areas of focus include:
- Emotional control
- Managing difficult emotions
- Anger management
- Parental divorce or separation
- Boundary setting
- Communication skills
- Family issues
- Raising self-esteem
- Drug and sexuality education
- Reinforcing drug abstinence
- School performance
- Surviving probation
Together, we will create a customized counseling plan to meet the specific needs of your teen and your family. We will build a unique therapeutic program to best serve your family's needs and goals.
