The Guided Journey Counselling offers specialized therapy for adolescents

Teen Therapy

Have you noticed your son or daughter seems more irritable, depressed, or anxious.  Having trouble in school. They don’t seem to be getting along with their peers and that’s left you feeling very concerned. 

Adolescence is hard even in the best of situations. Teenagers face a combination of societal pressure, peer pressure, and academic pressure. Then, you add all of the changes they’re facing right now and everything going on in the world around them. At times, the stress can be debilitating.

Your child is old enough to have their own thoughts, opinions, and identity. However, they still need guidance and support from you as their parent or caretaker. They may want independence, but they’re not quite ready for it yet. And, on top of it all, they are trying to create their own identity and figure out their place in the world. So, it’s no wonder so many teens experience mental health struggles.
