As your child transitions into the teen years, you are venturing into unknown territory. Teens are moving toward more independence, outward focus, and peer focus. For parents, it is sometimes challenging to figure out if the problems your teen is facing are too much for them to handle on their own, and whether they need to seek professional counseling.

1 in 5 teens struggles with a mental health issue of some kind, but often they do not know how to communicate about it. Whether there’s a mental health issue or another problem they’re having trouble coping with, Christian counseling for teens can help them overcome their problems, gain healthy coping skills, and build a stronger faith as they grow toward adulthood.

Why seek counseling for teens?

When your teenager goes to counseling at Pasadena Christian Counseling, the counselor will help them with any issues they are experiencing, in a safe and compassionate setting. Confidentiality is maintained except in cases of abuse, self-harm, or harm towards others. The counselor may be in contact with parents or the school counselor to help set up the best treatment plan.

The counselors at Pasadena Christian Counseling can help offer problem-solving skills, social skills, relationship help, communication skills, and help with faith issues in an environment where your teen can grow increasingly willing to open up and talk about their struggles.

The most important part of counseling for teens is addressing the underlying issues beneath outward behavior. Sometimes the battle between parents and teens can leave parents frustrated or confused about why their child is acting out. Counseling is a neutral environment where the teen does not feel put on the defensive, and can, with the counselor’s help, express what they are feeling.

Individual counseling for teens can also be employed in conjunction with family therapy to address issues related to the family.
