Therapy for Teens and Adolescents.
|
Mental health counseling is a great tool for helping teens work through whatever is troubling them. However, it can be difficult to know if a teen’s behavior is normal, or if they need to see a therapist. Here are the signs that your child should see a counselor: Constantly feeling sad, hopeless, worried, fearful, anxious, or angry Having difficulty concentrating or making decisions Feeling restless; unable to settle down or focus Talking about death or expressing suicidal thoughts Talking about harming themselves or others Engaging in self-harm behaviors (cutting, hitting, etc.) Abusing alcohol or drugs Earning poor grades in school or experiencing a sudden drop in performance Abandoning activities/hobbies they once enjoyed Changing their sleeping/eating habits Withdrawing from family and friends Kate and Jess are both experienced in working with teens and adolescents. |
