Adolescence is often a difficult time plagued with rebellion and a need for separation from parents and other caregivers. Adolescents tend to strive for independence and often refuse to take advice from their parents or teachers. As a result, they tend benefit from individual therapy where they are provided with a space to process and deal with:
- Changes in mood
- Sexual identity
- Emotional issues
- Substance abuse problems
- Relational problems
- Effects of peer pressure
An appropriate therapy with is important when dealing with adolescents.
Here, at the Orlandini Psychology group, we use empirically supported treatment. We determine the teen’s needs, values, maturity, intelligence, and social skills, and then develop an individualized program to modify the harmful behavior. Knowing what motivates the adolescent is the key to selecting the most effective treatment.
Some treatments might involve role playing, play therapy, or family therapy. We will set treatment goals, monitor progress, and adjust treatment as needed.
