Psychological Support in Adolescence
A Crucial Stage for Emotional Development
I offer a safe and trusting space where adolescents can express themselves freely. I listen without judgment, help them understand what they are experiencing, and work so they can face the challenges of this stage with more resources and balance.
Why is Therapy Important in Adolescence?
Adolescence is full of intense changes: physical, emotional, social… It’s not always easy for adolescents to understand themselves or be understood. Therapy can help them channel what they feel and improve communication with their environment.
1
Active and Nonjudgmental Listening
The adolescent finds a neutral space where they can express themselves freely and begin to understand their emotions.
2
Strengthening Family Bonds
We foster better communication with the family, facilitating coexistence and mutual understanding.
3
Support in Growth
We enhance self-esteem, decision-making, and conflict management to face this vital stage with greater confidence.
A Space to Express Yourself and Grow
In therapy with adolescents, I work primarily through individual sessions, where I create an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality. I attentively listen to what the adolescent feels, what they hide, what hurts them… and help them identify what is affecting them and how they can begin to change it.
Sometimes, depending on the case, it may be necessary to include some joint sessions with the family to improve the dynamics at home or resolve specific conflicts. My approach is based on respect, dialogue, and emotional connection.
During the process, I evaluate with the adolescent how they are evolving, what is serving them, and what they need at each moment. Thus, little by little, we are building a path towards greater well-being, self-awareness, and maturity.
