Imagine seeing your
adolescent
or
teenager
excited about life again.
For parents of struggling adolescents and teenagers, it can be stressful, frustrating, and even scary to observe changes in your child’s mood, behavior, and personality. At first it may have seemed like their complaints about friends, difficulties with school, and general moodiness was just a phase of
teen
angst, but as your
adolescent
or
teenager
's self-confidence, school performance, social activity, and motivation dwindle, so does your confidence in your ability to help them. You’ve tried everything you can think of to make them feel better and help them get back on track, and you feel overwhelmed when nothing seems to work.

Grace Juliette Marin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MSCP, LMHC, CFMHE
Verified
As a counselor, I feel bringing a nurturing and non-judgmental approach when working with different situations and encouraging strength and personal growth is important for therapeutic relationships. Most of my experience involves behavioral work such as defiance in children;
teen
issues, adult issues, anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, attachment issues, relationship issues, and family issues. I believe all behavior has a purpose and finding what is motivating the behavior is how we learn to manage difficult situations. Together, we explore avenues towards personal growth and emotional healing.

You’re seeking therapy for a reason. You’ve probably talked to your family, friends, or even co-workers about the things that are plaguing your mind. But if you’re like the rest of us you’re probably holding back. Hesitant to reveal your true self. Fear of being judged, left, or isolated. Therefore, therapy should be driven by the relationship you build with your therapist, and not a theory or a textbook. You take the skills you learn in the therapist-client relationship and apply them into your life and your experiences. What freedom could you accomplish if you did not allow other’s narrative to shape your way?

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Winter Park and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
