Having worked with male teens for over a decade in both residential settings and private practice, I have witnessed the unique potential of the adolescent brain. During this developmental phase, teenagers are particularly receptive to learning, making it an ideal time to begin therapy. Engaging in therapeutic conversations helps adolescents learn to think differently, enhances their emotional intelligence, and equips them with new coping strategies. Many teenagers struggle to articulate their feelings, and therapy provides them with the insight and awareness to express their inner experiences. It is inspiring to observe how quickly they apply the concepts and skills learned in therapy to their everyday lives. Therapy can help your teen develop healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges at an earlier age, a significant advantage for their future.
