My clients often come to counseling feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and irritated by everyday interactions. Children and teens may have increased conflict at school or home, decreased motivation, lack of engagement, or avoiding activities that were previously enjoyable. They may be feeling sad or empty, and may have thoughts of suicide. Parents may be feeling confused and helpless watching their children struggle to manage daily life.
