Adolescent Issues
Boca Raton Adolescent Counseling
Being an adolescent can be tough. We classify adolescents as minors who are between the ages of 12-17. During this transitional time adolescents can struggle with many different internal and external stressors. They are faced with the pressures of society, the media, school and their peers. At times they can feel overwhelmed, lonely and lost. During this period adolescents are trying to establish their identity, core values and where they fit in the world. It is important that they are supported throughout this transitional time and validated for their experiences. Counseling can offer adolescents a safe space to process these emotions and experiences.
