Adolescents Aged 15 to 20 Are Welcome in My Practice
Adolescence is a phase where certain patterns, developed in relationships with parents and influenced by physical and environmental factors, come to the surface. A young person may become withdrawn or overly outward-focused, show strong resistance to parents, or be excessively compliant.
Anything that feels “off” to parents can be a sign that the adolescent is struggling with something. This phase can also be confronting for parents, as the adolescent reflects patterns that the parents may have unconsciously passed on. For parents, this can be an opportunity to recognize and address their own hidden patterns.
The teenage years are a challenging time for both parents and adolescents. Recognizing the importance of maintaining a strong connection between parents and teenagers, I welcome adolescents into my practice. Here, they can talk about their struggles with someone outside the family system who is nonetheless empathetically focused on their well-being.
The goal is to restore the quality of connection and gain clarity. Many challenges that arise in adult life are rooted in the quality of attachment between parents and children. By identifying and addressing these issues early, adolescents can greatly benefit in finding their own unique path in life.
