Teen Counseling

South Denver Psychotherapy provides individual counseling services to teens in the south Metro Denver area. Adolescence is a time of tremendous growth and possibility. The pressure to succeed along with an underdevelopment of skills, motivation, and self discipline can be overwhelming. Consequently, adolescents are being exposed to temptations and adult content beyond their emotional capability to handle. The combination can drive teens, their parents and the schools to high levels of frustration and conflict.

Parents spend years helping kids grow and mature, then comes adolescence and one can begin to feel as if one has failed at the fundamental task of parenting. Counseling can help provide effective skills and strategies your teen needs to take on their rightful responsibilities in their transition from childhood to adulthood.

Is your teenager no longer the child you raised?
Do you wonder what happened to him or her?
How can such a good kid suddenly have so many problems?
Are you becoming aware that what seemed like small issues becomes huge in the teenage years?
Why is my child so secretive/disrespectful/angry/rebellious? The answer to these questions can come from a combination of normal adolescent development to stressors specific to the individual teen. The answers are unique and teen counseling can help the individual find their voice, assertively and respectfully.
