When Your Teen is Struggling
Is This Just Being a Teenager?
Your teenager barely talks to you anymore. Maybe they are spending more time in their room, school has become a battle, or every conversation ends in an argument. Something seems off, but how do you know when to step in and when to give them space?
Darrell Hammond offers counselling for teens and families in Kingston and online across Ontario. He knows teenagers aren't always thrilled about sitting down with another adult to talk about their feelings. And frankly, some would rather be anywhere else.
Therapy can help with anxiety, low mood, friendship issues and tension at home and school. Sometimes Darrell works with teens individually; other times, involving their adults makes sense. We want to understand what's happening and help make things a little easier for your teen and everyone at home.
And if you're the teenager reading this?
Maybe your parents suggested therapy, or maybe it was your idea. Either way, you don't need to know what to say or agree with your parents about why you're here. We can figure out where to start together.
