Counseling for Teens

It’s scary when your teenager isn’t acting like themselves.
You may feel lost and unsure about how to help them.
Perhaps it feels like everything you try doesn’t work, and almost makes things worse.

Teens today are often experiencing a great deal of stress, anxiety and pressure. They are also experiencing more bullying, social issues and family pressures. This can be overwhelming and often leads to anxiety, depression and/or trauma.

It is hard to be a parent when this is happening. Often, you don’t know how to help because what worked in the past isn’t working now. You and your teen are fighting all the time, or they have quit talking to you. 

We are passionate about helping your teen and your family figure out what is going on and developing a plan to support you. Here at Purple Sky Counseling, our counselors are highly trained in working with teens and families.

 

These are some of the problems we commonly see when counseling teenagers: 

  • Struggling at school, recent drop in grades

  • Difficulty making friends or interacting with peers 

  • Trouble adjusting to recent life changes

  • Withdrawing from family and/or friends

  • No longer enjoying things they used to enjoy

  • Uncontrollable or misplaced anger

  • Frequent crying or difficulty managing emotions

  • Unexplained, recent behavior changes

  • Feelings of depression and anxiety

  • Questioning spirituality and identity

  • Making statements about wanting to harm themselves or end their life

Our Purple Sky counselors excel in working with teens. They understand how to talk with them and how to meet them at their level. A counselor is often one of a few adults that a teen trusts and is willing to talk with. We will help you and your teen communicate better and establish healthy boundaries. 

Our counselors focus on helping your teen deal with their struggles, manage their emotions and feel better about themselves. They also support and help you through the process, allowing the family to function and continue having healthy relationships throughout the counseling process.
