Teen Counseling

Adolescence is the stage where the individual reveals themselves and forms their identity in a process where they are not a child but not yet called an adult. In the process of revealing themselves during adolescence, the individual pursues their own truths by filtering all known truths. In this respect, the adolescent who desires to be freer and more flexible in many points is trying to adapt to their changing physiological structure and emotional state. The adolescent structure, which is changing both hormonally, physiologically and psychologically, becomes more angry and rebellious. At this point, the newly formed identity in the adolescence process and the family with an established structure may experience conflict. Adolescent counseling plans to ensure that the adolescence period, which is a transition process in physiological, psychological and social terms, is followed in the most correct way by the family, in a way that will support the individual's construction of their own identity. In addition, adolescent counseling works to prevent situations such as depression, substance use and antisocial behaviors that may occur during adolescence. With adolescent counseling, individuals who can express themselves, are positive, can build their own truths, and can establish healthy communication with family and social aspects with these truths can be created. In this direction, studies are carried out with adolescent individuals and with families simultaneously or at different times. Adolescent counseling functions as a balancing element in the relationship of the individual who is forming their own identity with themselves and their family.
