Adolescent & Teen Psychotherapy
Growing Up In Today’s World Is A Challenge
Do you feel overwhelmed with trying to manage school, your social life, and your family? Do you feel like expectations have been placed on you, but you’re struggling to understand where they came from or how you’re expected to meet them? Are you questioning things about yourself, like who you are, who you want to be, or how others see you? Are you feeling isolated, struggling to make friends or fit in, or going through a period of change in your life?
Being a teenager with so much going on within and around you, some of which is out of your control, can be a challenging and uncertain experience. It’s a time where you find out more about yourself, the things you’re interested in, and how you want your future to be. It is normal for many of the people in your life to have opinions about what this should look like, including your friends, your family, and your school, but this may not always line up with what you want or envision for yourself. This can be a lot to consider, especially when every decision feels so significant. At this point in our lives, making choices can feel like a monumental task, but our psychotherapists will work with you to make these problems feel smaller.
Let’s work collaboratively to develop an effective therapeutic plan you can put into action!
How We Can Help
As your therapist, our first steps will be to listen and understand your concerns and goals, not those of your parents, your friends, or your school. We would then work alongside you to help navigate this confusing world and establish new habits and routines that fit into your busy life. We will move at pace that feels comfortable for you, while also providing a welcoming space where you will always feel heard. Our goal at MCCM Counseling is to make it easier for you to navigate your day to day, help you feel more independent in doing so, and create a better understanding of who you are. We want to help you feel more connected with those around you and help you find your place in this world.
If you are ready to take the next steps to gain more control over your life, but are uncertain of where to start, contact our therapists.
