Growing up is characterized by new experiences and teenage years are especially a time of new-found independence and personal exploration. Adolescents are discovering who they are, trying to figure out how they fit in with their rapidly changing social environments. 

While this can be an exciting and liberating time, it is often accompanied by periods of confusion and inner conflict.  As adolescents start to explore their adult identity, they can experience fear, worry, isolation, self-doubt, and self-consciousness. Psychological therapy is aimed at helping young people make sense of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Therapeutic modalities are integrated to map out individual needs, encouraging safe behaviors and healthy autonomy, fostering meaningful relationships, and implementing strategies to fulfill personal endeavors (whatever they may be).

Support can entail traditional Talk Therapy or can use other channels which draw on the expressive nature of young people- such as art, music, writing, and role-playing. These proactive and creative strategies can help the individual navigate his/her personal growth both within the therapy setting and out in the real world.
