Counseling for Teens
Support for Social and Academic Pressures
Teen and Adolescent Counseling in Charlotte and Belmont
Having worked as a middle, high school and university educator for more than 15 years, I enjoy working with adolescents and teens.
The challenges today’s adolescents experience start much earlier in life because of the Internet and social media. Pressures to perform socially and academically can be great.
Exposure to cyber-bulling, self-harm, alcohol, and drugs also is commonplace. My ability to understand teens is helped by the fact that I am a Mom and walk through these difficulties with my own children and their friends.
While most adolescents refuse to open up to their parents, they need a safe space and relationship in which to share their thoughts and feelings. It is my privilege to provide them that place.
