As an individual transforms into a full-fledged adult physically and mentally, he/she may be subjected to bullying, self-worth issues, conflicts with parents and siblings, prone to anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, sleep disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse, cyber and social media addictions, Common problems among adolescents are growth and development related problems, school and childhood illnesses that continue into adolescence, mental health disorders, and the consequence of risky behaviors.
Therefore, it is essential to understand and support them to deal with these challenges effectively. In our counselling sessions at UP, we encourage them to discuss their issues and worries in a safe environment with our counselors. Our sessions allow them to think through their challenges, explore options, understand consequences and develop plans which can be executed with support from their families when required. Our therapies for adolescents and teens will help in improving their overall functioning at home, school, and with peer groups.
