About
Your son is definitely going through something. You're worried about the pre-teen, teen, or young adult in your life. He seems down, depressed, discouraged, but then just tunes out the world with his screens. He's anxious, dealing with pressure, school, friends, & he needs to face his struggles. He won't open up much to you or other family members. He seems to be isolating more - you think he might have some addiction going on. He's not as interested in his usual activities. You're basically concerned about the direction of his life. What you really want is your kid to be happy, motivated, and moving in a good direction.
As a former public school teacher and youth pastor, I get it. First, we'll establish a trusting relationship, with parent involvement for at least the 1st session. Then, we'll get deeper, helping him see which areas of his life are not going well. Your child will feel heard, understood, & will leave each session with tangible actions he can take to improve.
Your son will feel a lack of judgment. Instead, he will feel accepted & cared for, but also pushed to grow. What he has to say may be incredibly difficult, but he will feel safe and our relationship will allow him to open up. Call me today for a free, no obligation chat. Let's talk about next steps and how soon we can have that first session!
