Teen Counseling
Counseling for Teens in Austin
Christian counseling for teens helps build a stronger bond between teens and their parents. Counseling can help teens feel more understood and establish better communication, which can help facilitate a stronger parent-teen connection.
Many changes occur during the teenage years, all of which can be emotionally taxing on both teenagers and parents. Fortunately, this service can help ease this challenging and perplexing time.
How Christian Counseling for Teens Works
When conflicts arise between teens and their parents and are not addressed, resentment and hostility can prevail and create a tidal wave of tension. Christian counseling for children or teens can help a family deepen their relationships.
In the initial counseling session, it can be helpful to have one parent present with the teen to discuss the issues both parents and teen want to address. Depending on the time that takes, I may have the parent step out while I spend the remainder of the session with the teen. In follow-up sessions, it’s beneficial for me to meet with the teen alone to establish trust, which is essential for the counseling process.
