Therapy for Teens, Young Adults And Parents

Worried for your teen or young adult child? If you’re seeing any of the following issues, it may be time to get help. 

• Displaying signs of risky behavior
• Struggling with school
• Getting in relationships with the wrong people
• Becoming more overwhelmed, stressed and anxious
• Fallen into a depressive state
• Experiencing emotional trauma
• Lacking motivation or the ability to make good decisions
• Mood swings and uncontrolled anger
• Eating disorders and lack of self care
• Compulsive behaviors
• Low self esteem

Therapy for teens, young adults and parents is at the core of our practice.  Teenagers and young adults can sometimes best be described as cars with fully functioning accelerators and partially developed breaks. Not only from a risk taking perspective, but also in making positive life choices.

Why Are The Teen Years And Young Adulthood So Incredibly Difficult?

This phase of life is arguably one of the hardest age periods that anyone will go through, which is why we dedicated our careers to helping teens, college students, graduate students entering the job market, young adult children and their families. There are so many paths that need to be navigated and the signs are rarely ever clear.

Teens and young adults (Millennials and Generation Z) need to be seen as people with unique points of view. When talking with teens, we often find that they know exactly what they want. They have goals, aspirations and dreams of their own. The struggle is sometimes how to communicate those needs. Knowing what steps to take in order to achieve their goals and the challenging issues they may be facing is not always clear. Sometimes things get in the way like anxiety, depression, trauma, procrastination or entitlement issues.

Malaty Therapy Helps Teens Through Life’s Most Challenging Changes.

Our work together isn’t about us telling your teen or adult child exactly what he or she needs to do in order to get better results. It’s more of a relationship that we will build together where we begin to dissect what is getting in the way of achieving the things they desire for their life. We then create steps to start making small gains. Therapy for teens is about continuously making small gains. Those small victories added up to one big change.
