Teen Therapy Services
What Causes Changes in Your Teen’s Behavior
If you notice your teen acting out more or they seem unhappy, you’re making the right decision to explore options for help. After all, your child is going through a difficult period in his or her life.
They are at a crossroads. As a teenager, they have yet to fully develop the ability to master rational thought. It’s natural for them to react with emotion and impulsivity. Their desire for independence and autonomy is also starting to emerge. So you’re witnessing two realities coming to a head, as your child tries to navigate mature situations without all of the necessary tools.
This is the time to equip yourself with the knowledge, understanding and awareness needed to be your child’s main source of stability and keep your connection with them.
