Adolescent Psychology

(13 – 18 Years)

Transitioning between being a child and being a young adult can be a very difficult, very overwhelming developmental stage in adolescents. Whether a teenager is dealing with the general complexities of this transition, or is trying to cope with additional trauma, such as divorce, bereavement or abuse, there are some behavioural issues which may arise which require therapy to assist the child in developing the skill set to handle their situations in a healthy and proactive manner, which in turn will give them the tools and skills to use well into adulthood.

I assist young adults with their developing independence and self-identity, and can appropriately guide them through making the right choices when it comes to the difficult decisions that they will face throughout their teen years regarding family, school, sexuality, drugs, alcohol, social network media, and their social circles.
