As a child counselor, I know that a teenager’s life can be fraught with turmoil and anxiety that arise not just from an overload of hormones but from family and school pressures as well.   I also know that when teens are going through difficult times, they can feel more supported by talking to a therapist, whether it’s a therapist at school or a private therapist.  Teenagers often feel sad, angry or overwhelmed by events and feelings and a therapist can help them to sort out those feelings, find solutions to their problems and help them to feel better.
