An adolescent has one foot in the safety of childhood, while the other is eager to separate from parents and childhood home, and head out into the world. Therapy can provide a steady, neutral and trusted source of support to help sort through the conflicting emotions of the adolescent years, and help the young person gain a better understanding of who they are – beyond and beneath the influences of friends and culture. Challenges for teens and their parents can be compounded by overexposure to social media, explicit on-line sexual content, excessive video gaming, academic pressure, consumerism, substance abuse, and a general disconnect from the natural world. I have found that adolescents respond particularly well to an existential, depth-psychological approach – which allows for a deeper exploration of the questions all adolescents grapple with: Who am I? Who do I want to become? What is the meaning of it all..?
