The teen years are an important period of development. Mental health struggles are not uncommon during these years, with one in three high school students reporting difficulties such as sadness and hopelessness. Just as with adults, therapy can be a helpful resource for teens to address some of these common concerns. Teenagers often struggle with conflict and relationship issues between both peers and family.
Any teen struggling with their mental health can benefit from therapy.
Common reasons for a teen to seek therapy include:
Parent-child conflict
Problems between siblings
School/academic difficulties
Anxiety/depression
ADHD
Bullying
Peer Pressure
Anger Management
Therapy may help to address issues and increase coping skills. It can equip individuals to better manage the changes and stress that come with being a teenager. If any of the above scenarios resonate with your teen, therapy can be beneficial.
