Adolescence is an exciting, yet transitional time in life.  They may encounter struggles with self-image, social relationships, family stress, schoolwork, sexuality, drugs, alcohol. They many have difficulty learning, act aggressively toward others, be subject to bullying, develop rituals, use alcohol or drugs, self-harm, or have negative feelings and beliefs about themselves.  Through therapy, adolescents are able understand the causes of their feelings and behavior.  They can then work to cope and and make desired changes.  Our therapists utilize a variety of treatment modalities and techniques (including DBT, Sandtray Therapy, TF-CBT, and EMDR) to address specific issues and promote healing.
