Something’s just not right…
Your teen spends most of their time in their room, no longer wants to have dinner with the family, and responds with one-word answers most of the time.
Teens are lost, lonely, and overwhelmed. They feel this way for various reasons, the biggest being a lack of in-person connection and relationships.
Hiding behind a screen allows teens anonymity and to avoid rejection.
They live double lives and don’t know how to interact in the real world.
You have so many questions…
You want to understand the root cause of your teen’s troubles:
“What did I do wrong as a parent to cause my teen to behave this way?”
You can’t help but be concerned for their future well-being:
“Will my child overcome these challenges and have a happy, successful life?”
You want to get beyond the communication barriers and disconnection:
“How can I reach my teen and make them understand how much I love them and want to help?”
Anxiety looms as you feel the pressure to restore your family:
“Will our family ever be the same again? Will we be able to heal and rebuild trust?”
Most parents feel helpless and vulnerable because they don’t know how to help:
“Where can I find the support and guidance to help my teen navigate this challenging situation?”
More than anything…
Your teen wants to be understood.
Active listening is the best thing you can do to help teens. It makes them feel they can trust you and come to you with the big and small things.
Naturally, you wonder why they don’t just come to you. Even though you’re open and willing to help, they don’t see it that way. They don’t get that you were once a teenager and get what they’re going through.
You’ve come to the right place.
As a parent, you feel overwhelmed, scared, and confused about your role in your teen’s mental health.
Counseling will always be a safe space for your teen to receive the utmost care.
I will guide you in understanding effective ways of establishing communication and working toward an improved relationship with your child.
