Therapy for Adolescents

Therapy for Adolescents

Therapy for Adolescents

Adolescence can be a time of exciting changes and great leaps in independence and autonomy, however, it can also be a challenging time for both teenagers and their families. I assist families in navigating these changes. I can help your teenager manage the many challenges presented to them and assist them in learning how to make good decisions for a successful transition into young adulthood.

Tips for Talking With Your Children

Certainly, we knew there’d come the time for the “big talk,” but who knew we’d be struggling with how to talk to our children about drugs and AIDS and gay relationships, guns and violence at school, and kids who kill other kids.

Our world has grown more complex and the media, including the Internet, has swung wide the doors to information and misinformation. Talking with our children about difficult and often disturbing issues has never been more critical.

Following are some tips that may help.

1. It’s never too soon to start. Kids are hearing about issues at an earlier age.

2. Don’t wait for them to ask. Just because they haven’t asked about something doesn’t mean they don’t want or need information.

3. Tackle subjects even if you’re uncomfortable. Set aside your own feelings and initiate dialogue.

4. Be open and encouraging. Create an environment in which any question can be asked at any time.

5. Be clear about your values. Children want and need moral guidelines from their parents.

6. Don’t just talk, listen. You’ll get information about how to approach an issue while building your child’s self-esteem.

7. Be straightforward and honest. You don’t have to give all the details, but you do need to be honest.

8. Take time, be patient. Unlike lunch, digesting new information can take time.

9. Don’t wait for the “right time.” Be ready when opportunities arise. Daily life presents many openings for even a short dialogue.

10. Keep talking. Information given in small doses over a period of time is the best way to have that “big talk.”

"Monica has a wonderful warmth about her & was able to connect quickly with my teen daughters as we reached out for her services. She is an amazing resource for kids/teens that are hurting that need a neutral & safe professional to communicate with to work thorough their stressors. Monica genuinely cares about her clients & I highly recommend her services."
"Monica helped me through a really tough time in my life for about two+ years. I felt completely comfortable and honest with her. Each time I left a session, I would feel so much better than the time before. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for counseling."
