Adolescence can be a particularly difficult time in the life cycle. During this time teens can become preoccupied with their internal worlds, a phenomenon called 'adolescent egocentrism' and believe the feelings they are experiencing are unique to them. In addition, many teens feel that everyone is juding them, a phenomenon referred to as imaginary audience.

We can provide counselling that attunes to these unique needs and effectively help teenage children make a smoother transition into young adulthood.

Many parents seek the help of a therapist for reasons related to:

• Anxiety and depression

• Body image issues

• Eating disorders

• Sexually acting out

• Challenging authority
