At Maryland Counseling Services, we understand that the teenage years are difficult for adolescents and their families. When you’re parenting a teenager, it’s easy to fall into the trap of blaming them for their behavior and their attitude. After all, you’ve given them everything a parent could give them. You may have even given them opportunities you didn’t have when you were growing up. Alternately, you may blame yourself. If your teenager is having problems at home, school, or with the legal system, you may ask yourself where you went wrong. At Maryland Counseling Services, we can provide therapy for teenagers and adolescents to help them work through issues they may not be able to do so on their own. We also provide help for parents through psychoeducation, parenting tips, and helping communicate information to their teen.
At Maryland Counseling Services, we understand the importance of helping children work through their issues and giving them the freedom to share their stories. Children are incredibly resilient, but they’re susceptible to the same stressors and traumas as adults. However, unlike adults, they don’t always know how to express and release their stress and frustration, and they often lack the tools or coping skills to deal with difficult situations.
With our kid we use Child Centered Play Therapy to help them express their feelings and emotions.
