You want your child to feel good about herself and be happy.
You want the best for your teen, and whether they show it or not, they really want to feel good about themselves and happy too. It can be hard for teens who want to find belonging in pressured peer groups, while trying to form their own identity. High school can be really hard for teenagers, especially with all the value put on social media, and expectations about college, leaving teens constantly comparing themselves to one another. This stress often leads to anxiety, depression, low self esteem and even self harm.

Counseling for Teens in Walnut Creek
While you feel like your teen should be able to talk with you about whatever is going on in their life, the truth is, most teens simply don't feel comfortable talking to their parents. They fear they'll get in trouble, don't want to hear a lecture, or are scared to disappoint you.
