Adolescents

Adolescent psychologists are particularly skilled in communication and engagement with adolescents of varying circumstances and presentations, and aim to provide a safe therapeutic space for exploration and navigation of unique experience and challenge. An adolescent psychologist is often sought for assistance with issues such as: stress with exams, social anxiety, self-confidence, peer pressure, risk taking, and sexual exploration .

Therapy and counseling for adolescents is often initiated by concerned parents, but tends to work best if the young person is on board and invested in their own therapy and motivated to address personally defined goals.
