As they shift from childhood into adulthood, teens are faced with countless struggles. They suddenly confront challenges with social and romantic relationships, deal with bullying and body image issues, all the while attempting to keep up with academic demands.

Additionally, as teenagers drift away from being dependent on their parents, they can become reluctant in sharing problems with mom and dad. Adolescent counseling can be beneficial in helping teens understand and process emotions and work through interpersonal challenges that they do not feel comfortable discussing with their parents.
