Teen & Young Adult Therapy

You are not alone. Many teens and young adults experience mental health challenges, and it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. That’s where we come in.

At our counseling center in Boulder, CO, we specialize in working with teens and young adults. We understand the unique challenges that you face, and we are here to help you navigate them.

Being a teenager can be a challenging time. You are going through a lot of changes, both physically and emotionally. You are trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do with your life. You are also dealing with the pressures of school, friends, and family.

Teen Challenges

Here are some of the challenges that teenagers face:

• Puberty: Puberty is a time of major physical changes. You are growing taller, your body is changing shape, and you are starting to develop secondary sex characteristics. These changes can be confusing and embarrassing, and they can make you feel self-conscious.
• Emotional changes: Teenagers are also going through a lot of emotional changes. You are becoming more independent and starting to think for yourself. You are also dealing with new emotions, such as love, anger, and sadness. These emotions can be overwhelming and difficult to deal with.
• School pressure: Teenagers are under a lot of pressure from school. They have to deal with homework, tests, and grades. This pressure can be stressful and lead to anxiety and depression.
• Peer pressure: Teenagers are also under a lot of pressure from their peers. They may be pressured to do things that they are not comfortable with, such as drinking alcohol or using drugs. This pressure can be difficult to resist.
• Family conflict: Teenagers may also experience conflict with their parents. This conflict can be about anything, from curfews to dating. It is important to remember that this is a normal part of growing up.

If you are a teenager and you are struggling with any of these challenges, it is important to reach out for help. Talk to your parents, a trusted adult, or a therapist. There is no shame in asking for help, and it can make a big difference in your life.

Being a young adult is a time of great change and transition. It is a time when you are trying to figure out who you are, what you want to do with your life, and how to make your way in the world. This can be a challenging time, but it is also an exciting time full of possibilities.

Young Adult Challenges

Here are some of the challenges that young adults often face:

• Financial challenges: Young adults are often struggling to make ends meet. They may have student loans to repay, rent to pay, and other bills to cover. This can be a major source of stress.
• Emotional challenges: Young adults are also often dealing with emotional challenges. They may be trying to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives, and how to deal with the pressures of adulthood. This can be a time of great anxiety and stress.
• Relationship challenges: Young adults are also often dealing with relationship challenges. They may be trying to figure out how to maintain relationships with their families and friends, while also trying to start new relationships with romantic partners. This can be a time of great change and upheaval.
• Health challenges: Young adults are also at an increased risk for certain health challenges, such as mental health problems, substance abuse, and sexually transmitted infections. It is important for young adults to be aware of these risks and to take steps to protect their health.

Despite the challenges, being a young adult can also be a time of great joy and opportunity. It is a time when you are free to explore your interests, meet new people, and make your own choices. It is a time to set your goals and start building your future.

If you are a young adult facing challenges, there are resources available to help you. You can talk to your parents, teachers, or other trusted adults. You can also seek professional help from a therapist or counselor. Remember, you are not alone.
