4 Types of Counseling
Teens Counseling
With hormonal and physical changes, teenage years bring a lot of pressure and stress triggers. Behavior issues, identity issues, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and more can all be helped by counseling. It can be extremely beneficial for individuals to have someone to talk to that is unbiased and will help them see things from a different perspective. As a teenager your brain is still growing and changing and it is not uncommon to feel lost or confused during this time. Counseling can help you work through these feelings and figure out who you are and what you want in life.
Individual Counseling
Sometimes people just need someone to talk to. If you’re feeling lonely, isolated, or like you’re just not yourself, counseling can help. Counseling can provide a safe space for you to talk about whatever is on your mind. You can talk about your fears, your hopes, your dreams, and anything else that’s on your mind. Counseling can help you work through difficult emotions and make positive changes in your life. Behavior issues, stress, abandonment issues, anxiety, depression and more can all be helped by counseling. Bullying, family issues, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD, academic concerns, and relationship concerns are some of the many issues that arise in individuals. Counseling can help you work through these feelings and figure out how to cope with them in a healthy way. As an adult, you are expected to have everything together but sometimes life just doesn’t go the way we planned. That’s okay! Counseling can help you work through these feelings and get back on track.
