Adolescence can be a uniquely challenging time for preteens and teens - and parents! Adolescents are experiencing a huge amount of cognitive, physical, and emotional growth and change. Often, teens are also affected by our fast-paced society, feeling pressure in school, extracurricular activities, or relationships with family and friends. All of which can leave parents and teens alike feeling overwhelmed and unprepared.
Your preteen or teen might benefit from counseling if you have noticed them struggling with:
- Depressed mood or feelings of hopelessness
- Excessive worry and an inability to control the worry
- Withdrawing from activities and friends
- Changes in grades or performance in school, activities, or friends
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep disturbance (too much or too little)
- Low energy
- Feeling angry or irritable
- Feeling keyed up or on edge
- Tearfulness
- Feelings of worthlessness and guilt, or low self-esteem
