What's Happening with Your Teen
Getting the right help for yourself is just as important as finding help for your teen. Our job at Teen Solutions is to help parents assess what's happening and design the best action plan for the teen and the family. As we get to know you and understand your family's needs we can provide clear direction and useful recommendations.
We assess a teenager's level of functioning in four major areas: school, social relationships, family, and overall emotional well-being. We also assess for a variety of issues including substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety and depression.
- High School/College
We look at your adolescent/young adult's current grades, future goals, and family expectations. We help young people prepare for and adjust to college life, depending on where they are in the process. We also address peer relations and how they are supporting or interfering with a young person's success, self-esteem, and sobriety. - Social Relationships
We encourage young people to create healthy friendships with peers who are trustworthy and respect them for who they are. We also want to ensure that peer influence is balanced with the needs of the family and the well-being of their community. - Family Life
We are interested in understanding the impact of the teenager's recent behavior on the family. We also explore relevant factors such as divorce, remarriage, adoption, family relationships, as well as the family's strengths, hopes, expectations, and values. - Emotional Well-Being
A teenager's behavior is often a reflection of his or her emotional state. They often struggle, act out, and make poor decisions as a result of their unresolved issues. We thouroughly assess your teen's emotional and psychological development so that the source of their problems can be directly addressed.
