Anxiety Counseling for Teens, College Students and Adults in Kansas City, MO.
As a parent, it's tough to see your teen struggling, especially when they're excelling in school but still feeling overwhelmed. Conversely, it can be equally concerning if they once thrived but are now having trouble getting started. You might notice them becoming defensive or angry when you offer help, or perhaps they're striving for perfection to avoid disappointing others. It's important to remember that even successful teens can experience overwhelming stress.
If your teen is feeling this way, know that you're in the right place. I'm here to offer support and guidance to help them navigate through these challenges. Together, we can work on strategies to alleviate their overwhelm and stress, allowing them to regain control and pursue the things they want and need to do. You don't have to face this alone—let me help.
Teens
Navigating the transition from high school to college can be quite an eye-opener. While you may have smoothly sailed through high school, college brings a whole new level of complexity. Suddenly, you're juggling classes, extracurriculars, studying, and work, leaving little time for relaxation.
Rather than efficiently tackling your to-do list, you might find yourself seeking solace in social media or binge-watching your favorite TV series during rare moments of downtime.
If this feels familiar, please know you're never alone in your struggles. Seeking support is not only courageous but also a necessary step toward finding relief and guidance.
