Since 1999, I've worked with children from ages 4 through 19 and parents. At some point in life we get overwhelmed and often find ourselves struggling to keep "it altogether", which understandably affects our emotions, behaviors, and attitude. So often young people often don't understand their feelings, so their unable to express them appropriately and/or feel as if no one is listening. Adults often feel lost, angry or confused. Talking with a counselor helps you to communicate these feelings and leads you to discovering solutions now and throughout life.
