Adolescent and Teen Counseling

Teenagers can be moody at the best of times, but do you feel your teen is lashing out against you, your spouse or their siblings a little too much?

Or maybe your child was the victim of a childish prank or social media post that went too far and caused harmful, emotional damage to them?

Or lastly, your teenage daughter is looking for someone with an outside perspective to talk with about her pregnancy?

For some, the additional support counseling brings during this time of their life can move them past challenges which may cause them anxiety or depression.
