Teens/Young Adults
Adolescence marks a pivotal time of identity formation and shifting perspectives. Amidst societal pressures and cultural influences, guiding them towards healthy adulthood feels like a daunting task.
It is bewildering to witness the transformation of your once vibrant, outgoing child into a withdrawn, sullen, often insecure teenager.
Where did their spark go?
They used to revel in being the center of attention, expressing themselves loudly – laughing freely. Now, they seem lost in uncertainty, and the joy they once exuded has faded. You ache for the child you knew.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR TEEN?
• Do you fret over whether your teen is grappling with depression or anxiety?
• Are your teen’s academic concerns causing you or them distress?
• Have you observed your teen withdrawing from social interactions?
• Do you suspect your teen may be struggling with anger management?
• Are you troubled by the possibility of your teen engaging in harmful behaviors like drug or alcohol use or self-harm?
• Has your teen undergone a significant change and appears to be having difficulty adjusting?

Parenting felt simpler when their needs were straightforward—feeding, soothing fears. But adolescence brings a new set of challenges, with emotions running deeper and communication more elusive.
You understand their struggles; after all, you were a teenager once too, and you can see them treading a familiar path. But attempts to communicate are met with anger and dismissal, leaving you feeling helpless.
Navigating this turbulent phase requires understanding and patience. You yearn to connect with their emotions, to help them navigate this transition smoothly. Yet, you're left grappling for the right approach.
You do not have to navigate this journey alone.
