Adolescent Therapy
“The adolescent is like a young plant that must be carefully nurtured through storms and sunshine to develop into a strong, healthy adult.”
— Anna Freud
Adolescence is naturally a period filled with angst, uncertainty, and challenges. When you add the advent of social media and the growing awareness around topics like sex, identity, and gender in today’s world, it’s remarkable that teens navigate these years as well as they do. During these times, therapy can provide crucial support to help adolescents manage and thrive through these complex experiences..
