Teen Counseling

Are you frustrated with your teen and afraid he or she may be on the wrong path? Do you feel helpless watching a teen who is sad, confused or getting in trouble? Is it hard to tell if what you see is normal teenage angst, or the signs of a more serious problem? We’re here to help.
As counselors for teens, we help parents find answers to important questions and help teens solve their problems. We offer individual, group and family counseling for teens and their families.
We have years of experience working with high-risk teens and those with normal adolescent issues. Over the past several years, we have worked with adolescents in both residential and outpatient settings. We have worked with teens in private practice, locked mental health facilities, Juvenile Hall, and at various agencies throughout Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara Counties.
Some areas of focus include:
- Intensive Outpatient Program
- Substance Abuse Issues
- Emotional Control
- Managing Difficult Emotions
- Anger Management
- Parental Divorce or Separation
- Boundary Setting
- Communication Skills
- Family Issues
- Raising Self-Esteem
- Drug and Sexuality Education
- Reinforcing Drug Abstinence
- School Performance
- Surviving Probation
Together, we will create a customized counseling plan to meet the specific needs of your teen and your family. We will build a unique therapeutic program to best serve your family’s style and goals.
