Teenagers & Adolescences
Teenagers & Adolescences
Some teenagers and children have some difficulty adjusting to life changes and other losses such as moving to a new neighborhood or school. A therapist can help them cope with grief and loss. Some adolescence may experience challenges with their behavior or mood while others may have difficulty interacting with peers and in other social situations. Teens and children may experience changes in mood, irritability, or they may sleep or eat more or less than they normally do. Some adolescences may act out while others become withdrawn and experience less enjoyment in activities.
I use different approaches based on the needs of the client, from cognitive behavioral therapy to social skills training, family therapy and play therapy helping teens and kids live happy and healthy lives.
Family Counseling
Family Counseling
Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us. We also learn how to love and how to interact with others from these first important relationships. Family therapy offers families a way to do this—a way to develop or maintain a healthy, functional family.
Family therapy or family counseling is a form of treatment that is designed to address specific issues affecting the health and functioning of a family. It can be used to help a family through a difficult period, a major transition, or mental or behavioral health problems in family members.
Mostly I use a strategic approach: This form of therapy is more brief and direct than the others, in which the therapist assigns homework to the family. This homework is intended to change the way family members interact by assessing and adjusting the way the family communicates and makes decisions.
