how does counseling help troubled teens?
At the very least a good counselor can offer a safe and supportive place for the teen to discuss their problems and concerns. This can be helpful for any teen (or anybody). Under some circumstances teens are facing real problems that would challenge any adult. When they are dealing with gang violence, death of a loved one, drug abuse or psychological disorders the assistance of a counselor can be even more important. It can be difficult to remember that even teens can face huge problems, and even the smaller problems are important to the person experiencing them. Just because I may have bigger problems doesn’t make yours small.
