Teen counseling in New Port Richey can help

Is your teen struggling with anxiety, stress, or other challenges?

Counseling for teens is different than other types of counseling. This is a time when teens try to figure out who they are, where they fit in, and where they want their lives to go. Teen counseling in New Port Richey offers a space to feel heard and understood. A counselor must act as a partner in helping teens explore how to manage conflicts, difficult emotions, or challenging situations. Problems are unique to being a teenager. The solutions must be specialized too. At Everthrive Counseling, our teen counselor, Rachelle, has special training to help support you in the best way.  

When to Seek Counseling for Teens:

Seeking out support from a teen counselor does not mean you are "crazy." More than 20% of teens have feelings of depression or anxiety that they struggle to manage on their own. You are not alone. Getting help can prevent things from getting worse. When we ignore feelings, they don't necessarily go away.

Here are some signs that your teen might benefit from speaking with a counselor:

  • Withdrawing from others

  • Feeling persistent anxiety, distress, or panic

  • Feeling like they never meet the expectations of others

  • Struggling in groups of people or avoiding social activities

  • Having trouble managing stress

  • A recent break-up or loss of a meaningful relationship

  • The death of a friend or loved one

  • Using drugs or drinking to cope with feelings or escape feelings

  • Constant feelings of "not being good enough"

  • Problems with academics

  • Feeling angry and irritable

  • Relationship problems with friends or parents

  • Sexuality, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity

  • Self-injury

  • Feeling hopeless and having thoughts of suicide

  • Improve self-confidence 

  • Define personal preferences and goals

  • Support navigating relationships

  • Identify choices and behaviors that might be making problems worse
