Adolescent Counseling and Therapy
Guiding Teens Through Life's Challenges
At Resolutions Therapy Practice, we understand that adolescence is a time of significant change, growth, and sometimes, struggle. Our experienced therapists in Lexington, Florence, and throughout Kentucky are dedicated to supporting teens and their families through the unique challenges of this developmental stage.
Adolescent counseling provides a safe, confidential space for young people to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the guidance of a trained professional. Whether your teen is dealing with anxiety, depression, social issues, or family conflicts, our compassionate team is here to help them develop the skills and resilience needed to thrive.
We offer a range of evidence-based modalities tailored to meet the specific needs of each adolescent we work with. Our therapists are trained in approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, which have shown effectiveness in working with teens.
Some common concerns we address in our adolescent counseling sessions include:
Anxiety and depression
School-related stress and academic pressure
Peer relationships and bullying
LGBTQIA+ Therapy and Gender Identity Support
Family conflicts and communication issues
Self-esteem and identity development
Substance use and risky behaviors
Eating disorders and body image concerns
ADHD and learning difficulties
Therapy can help adolescents in numerous ways, including:
Developing healthy coping strategies for managing stress and emotions
Improving communication skills with family and peers
Building self-esteem and a positive self-image
Addressing and resolving specific mental health concerns
Enhancing problem-solving and decision-making skills
Navigating major life transitions and challenges
At Resolutions Therapy Practice, we believe in a holistic approach to adolescent well-being, often involving parents and family members in the therapeutic process when appropriate.
