Here’s a list of our counselors who can help your teen:
Being a Teenager is HARD.
Parenting a teen can be hard, too.
One of the most important things your can do for your teenager is give them a safe space where they can talk about their problems with an adult who they can trust. Teen counseling can make their life easier, and yours, too.
Here’s the truth: Teenage years are a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges – from pressures around school, to relationships with friends, to trying to figure out an identity in a social media world.
We believe that the most important factor in successful teen counseling is whether or not your teen feels connected to their counselor.
Our two best teen therapists (Bec Miller & Amanda Farr) are great at getting teens to open and feel comfortable in therapy – whether it’s in our office or in a virtual session.
Here are some things that therapy can teach your teen:
1. Emotional Well-being
- Understanding and identify emotions so they can communicate them better. It’s an invaluable tool for managing stress, anxiety, and depression.
2. Building Healthy Relationships
- A huge focus at Our Whole Living Counseling is the importance of understanding and creating healthy relationships. When teens learn what healthy relationships look like, they are more likely to make better choices about the relationships they have in their lives.
3. Academic Success
- Academic pressure is a huge factor in teen life. Struggling with schoolwork, time management, or test anxiety can take a toll on your teen and everyone if your home. Therapy can help teens learn study habits, build self-confidence, and manage performance-related stress.
4. Parent-Teen Communication
- Talking with your teen can be HARD. Therapy can help to create better communication between parents and teenagers. Imagine if you and your teen learned to TALK to each other – and how that might decrease tension in your relationship.
