Adolescent & Teen Counseling

How Counseling Can Help My Teen

We believe being a teenager is harder than ever. Navigating friend groups, technology, and social media can be stressful. With schoolwork and activities, it can be difficult to find enough time to be a teenager, or even sleep. Adding in pressure about college and uncertainty about your future only makes life harder to manage. During this time when emotions can change by the minute, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

How Empower Counseling Can Help

We will listen to you without judgment as you describe what is troubling you. We will talk about what your life would look like if you woke up and all of your problems were gone. Then we will create a plan together to help you get back to really enjoying your life. This is your time with me. As long as there is no danger of you hurting yourself or someone else, what you tell me will not be repeated to anyone else.

We only use proven evidenced-based treatments (Acceptance Commitment Therapy or ACT) at Empower Counseling. We can help you:

  • Learn healthy ways to cope with stress and emotions

  • Healthy relationship with technology and social media
