Adolescent Girls

Adolescence is a time of transition and change. Because so many changes take place, these years tend to be volatile and emotional. During this time adolescents may experience issues such as:

Drug & alcohol problems
Peer relationship
Parent conflict
Anxiety
Sexually acting out
Academic issues
Cutting
Grief

Sometimes the emotions from such issues run high which may be expressed in the form of anger, depression, sadness, confusion and frustration.

To address these issues, Jamie uses an eclectic approach designed to meet the needs of each client, taking history and personality into consideration. Techniques used to approach particular issues are from the perspective that is most beneficial to the client.

Because the most important part of an adolescent’s life is her family, Jamie works closely with each family member. She skillfully guides the client and her family through the turbulent and emotionally filled time.
