Teen Therapy
Where has the love gone?
When your child was born, they were the apple of your eye. Your hopes and dreams were to love them and give them the best possible life.
As time went on, the reality of parenthood set in and adolescence hit. Your perfect angel turned into what feels like a nightmare.
No matter what you try, nothing seems to help. Your relationship oscillates between combativeness and cold war.
Now, you have run out of options and don’t know where to find help.
It’s like living in a teenage wasteland.
The only beings your teen respects or listens to are their friends or the dog.
The way you and your teenager interact is shocking. Love and connection are gone, and your relationship lacks respect or understanding and is adversarial.
Your home feels stuck in the abyss, and you can cut the tension with a knife. Buying their favorite game or treat doesn’t assuage the animosity.
How could things have deteriorated to such a dismal, embattled relationship?
You want to love and help your teen.
Like every good parent, you aim to give your teen a bright future.
Despite the veneer of misery and impenetrable wall of alienation, teenagers want to connect to their parents! They are also transitioning to becoming an adult and desire more independence and feel overwhelmed.
Don’t worry – hope is here!
Evidence-based therapy practices such as Person-Centered and IFS expressive arts allow your teen to connect to their pristine inner child and harness their calmness. They can learn to communicate with those they love and cope with the demands teenagers face in today’s world.
Your teen can flourish.
ALD Counseling has successfully worked with troubled teens. When trusted, appreciated, and given space and love, even the most challenging teens can become peaceful, joyful, and calm and want to reconnect with their parents.
Our approach helps your teen express their innermost feelings as they learn to become more aware of themselves and those who love them. Through this process, your teen can become more balanced emotionally.
