Boynton Beach Psychologist to Help Your Teen Succeed

Adolescence is frequently portrayed as a period of storm and stress to be survived or endured. During this developmental time, it can be quite challenging (and confusing) for the teen, as well as for the family. From mood swings to school issues, many teens have problems. The issues that teens face today vary, but therapy can help adolescents develop:

• Improved communication skills

• Adaptive coping skills

• Increased attentional control

• An improved sense of self

• Greater self-confidence and self-esteem

• Positive family dynamics

• Healthy relationships with parents, siblings, and peers

Therapy in adolescence becomes important for preventing current struggles from worsening or becoming chronic as an adult. Palm Cove Psychology Group can assist the teen (and the family) through the following difficulties together:

• Depression and anxiety

• Relational, peer, and family conflict

• Self-harm behaviors

• Alcohol and substance abuse

• Poor performance in school

• Sexuality and gender issues

• Trauma

• Grief and loss

• Anger management

• Low self-esteem

• Lack of motivation
