Adolescents/Preteens/Young Adults

The teen and young adult years can be a very exciting time.  However, for some, the pressures of the life changes and decisions can feel overwhelming.


In dealing with pressures and problems some may experience:


  • Increased irritability toward family or friends
  • Feelings of sadness, feeling blue or depressed
  • Excessive worry that may lead to frequent crying or medical complaints (such as stomachaches, headaches)
  • Breaking rules
  • Drinking alcohol or participating in other risky behaviors
  • Not performing well in school or work
  • Focusing too much attention on body or appearance issues
  • Developing an eating disorder - an over-focus on food, eating, and/or body image


When these feelings interfere with school, social or home life, therapy may be helpful.
 

Many adolescents/young adults and their families benefit from the adolescent working with a supportive therapist.
 

Some benefits include:


  • Addressing the stressors and talking about the concerns
  • Exploring new and different ways to deal with those issues
  • Having a third party who is not a friend, relative, teacher, or parent assist the teen
  • Parents can get assistance in understanding or addressing the adolescent’s behaviors
