We all know that no two individuals - let alone older children or adolescents - are alike. Beach Counseling appreciates the uniqueness of your teen/older child and completes a comprehensive assessment at the start of treatment. From there, we work together to develop a plan to help your teen build hope while learning how to cope with the issues they face at home, at school or in the community.
At Beach Counseling, a Cognitive Behavioral approach is frequently used to help teens identify and challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts and behaviors. I will often ask your child or teen to write in a journal or do homework assignments (not to worry, I don't give tests). I also use Creative Arts and play therapy techniques, depending upon the needs of the child.
Adult Counseling
Our thoughts play a major role in how we view and approach life. If we can change our thoughts, many times we can approach life with more hope and can learn how to cope with difficult situations. So frequently we can become overwhelmed or disheartened by what we have done or what we have failed to do. At Beach Counseling, we will work collaboratively to focus on accomplishments and define a holistic approach to everyday life. Beginning with developing coping skills, we'll look at creating a positive life style that incorporates mind, body, and spirit.
