The teen years are a crucial part of our development. They're fraught with constant change, heartaches, headaches, and the shaping of our personalities that lead us into adulthood. This is particularly the case for LGBTQ+ youth as they are exploring even more layers of cultural identity and self-awareness. Therapy for your teen can provide a safe place where they can sort out some of their values, goals, and feelings.
At Arcus Behavioral Health & Wellness we have considerable experience working with teens and families from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals, Latinx, immigrants, and various income levels. We also treat children across the developmental spectrum, including survivors of trauma. Our goal is to establish a supportive, encouraging, and positive relationship with our adolescent clients, and many teens find our down-to-earth approach understanding and personable, which encourages their engagement. Some of the more commonly discussed issues in our teen therapy sessions include:
​
-
Bullying
-
Mood Swings
-
Peer/Relationship Conflicts
-
Thoughts of Suicide or Death
-
Self-Esteem/Self-Worth
-
Academic Difficulties
-
Sexuality/Identity Development
