Teen study group

Adolescents (Ages 14+)

At Rising Sun Counseling, we specialize in working with high school adolescents to understand their daily challenges and provide the tools needed to handle them through counseling and therapy.

We believe that adolescence is a critical period of growth and development, and we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where teenagers can explore their thoughts and feelings. Our therapists are experienced in working with adolescents and use a variety of therapeutic techniques to address issues such as:

Academic Stress & Performance Anxiety

Many adolescents experience academic stress and performance anxiety, especially as they navigate the pressures of high school and prepare for their future. This can manifest as fear of failure, perfectionism, procrastination, or overwhelming feelings of stress. Our therapists work with teenagers to identify the sources of their academic stress, develop effective study habits, manage test anxiety, and build resilience in the face of academic challenges.

Peer Relationships & Social Challenges

Adolescence is a time of significant social development, and teenagers often face challenges in their relationships with peers. This can include issues such as bullying, social exclusion, peer pressure, and difficulty making or maintaining friendships. Our therapists help teenagers navigate these challenges by building social skills, enhancing self-confidence, and learning healthy boundaries and communication skills.

Time Management & Balancing Responsibilities

Managing a busy schedule filled with school, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and social commitments can be overwhelming for teenagers. Our therapists work with teenagers to develop effective time management skills, prioritize tasks, set realistic goals, and establish healthy boundaries to prevent burnout.

Emotional Regulation & Self-Esteem

Adolescence is a time of intense emotional development, and teenagers may struggle to regulate their emotions and maintain a positive self-image. Our therapists help teenagers understand and manage their emotions in healthy ways, build self-esteem, and develop coping strategies to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence.

Family Dynamics & Communication

Family relationships play a crucial role in adolescent development, and conflicts within the family can contribute to emotional distress and behavioral issues. Our therapists work with teenagers and their families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. Family therapy sessions provide a safe space for open and honest communication, helping families build understanding and support for each other.
