Adolescents

It is critical to recognize that development at all ages results from the elaborate interaction of mind and body, upbringing, the impact of parents and siblings, community and culture. Understanding the roles of physical health, parenting, emotions, trauma, and education in personality development and functioning are imperative in helping adolescents know themselves and begin to be aware of their own minds.

It is known that past experiences influence the present and that these may be distorted by difficulties with developmental and cognitive abilities. There are also factors outside of an individual’s (adult, adolescent or child) awareness which affect the person’s thinking and behavior. When these factors give rise to interferences in development, symptoms of conflict or anxiety, then adolescent psychotherapy can offer insight, understanding and ultimately, change and improvement.

Psychotherapy can result in not just the reduction of anxiety, depression, impulsive and self-defeating behaviors, but set an adolescent’s life on a different path, through deep and lasting changes which can lead to a capacity to live life to the fullest.
