Who We Service
Adolescents (14+)
Is your teenager struggling with schoolwork or having troubles with friends? Are they having trouble balancing work, school, and sports? Do they feel like an outsider socially? Is it challenging to connect with them at home? We work with high school adolescents to both understand their daily challenges and work on the tools needed to handle them through counseling and therapy.
Young Adults
Are you adjusting to a new life situation, feeling stress about career choices, or dealing with the challenges of a workplace? Is your connection to family or friends being pressured by behaviors or commitments? This period of life presents choices and difficulties that you may have not faced until now. We can assist you in working through these stressors and roadblocks.
