Counseling for Teens in Canton, MI

Raising a teenager can be challenging.

Many adolescents and teens struggle with all the changes occuring in their environment, loss of school, ability to spend time with friends, and some even missing milestone events like graduation, dances, sports or other elements that they valued in their life pre-pandemic. It can be hard to figure out what is “normal teenage angst” and what needs more attention and support.

Your teen’s counselor can be that objective ally that your teen needs right now to feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive healthy choices for themselves while they are navigating through this fluid and challenging time.

Some of the reasons parents bring their teens into counseling include:

• Symptoms associated with ADD/ADHD
• Defiance or behavioral issues
• Angry outbursts towards others
• Struggles with gender identity
• Engaging in self-harm behaviors
• Grief and loss
• Trauma including PTSD from the covid-19 pandemic, sexual, emotional or physical abuse
• Symptoms associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Difficulty succeeding in school
• Concern over choices the teen is making within their social circle or social isolation
• Engaging in risky behaviors
