Teen Counseling & Adolescent Therapy in San Diego, CA
Your child is struggling.
Their grades are falling, and they seem sullen, depressed, angry, and anxious. You wake them up for school, and they don’t want to go. They complain that they don’t feel good, procrastinate, or give you attitude.
It’s a daily struggle that baffles the mind.
What happened to your little boy or girl?
They used to be so happy – laughing all the time, full of life, energy, and loving. Now they are distant, angry, hard to talk to, and seem isolated.
You tell them to go outside, hang out with friends, or spend time with the family, but they don’t want to. They inform you they prefer to be alone, spend time on their phone or video game, or sleep.
You can’t figure out how to help.
They cry in their room and seem anxious and worried all the time. Now you start to worry.
You’re frightened and afraid you’re losing your child.
The constant fighting is exhausting.
You love them, you know you do, but sometimes you wonder if you like them.
They can be so difficult. You feel like you’re in a battle every day, and it is becoming tiresome.
Constant fighting is not your idea of a parent/child relationship. “Who signed up for this – it wasn’t me.”
That loving little girl or boy is gone. You miss them and want them back – the ones that used to snuggle with you, tell you about their day, and want to spend time with you.
Raising a teenager is hard.
Teens vacillate between throwing tantrums to wanting to be treated like an adult. They can be loving one moment and snarky the next.
Their erratic behavior makes you wonder if you’re a good parent or failing. Based on their behaviors, it’s hard to tell sometimes.
