Teen Counseling in Atlanta, GA
Helping teen guys with depression, stress and anxiety in Atlanta, GA, and surrounding areas gain the skills to launch into college.
Your Mental Health Matters
Life is so stressful. You can’t keep your head from spinning. It's like a critic lives in your brain and criticizes everything you do.
Mostly you try to distract yourself, but it doesn’t work if you’re honest.
When you play sports, you only notice how you fail; when you go to the gym, you constantly compare yourself to others.
You want it to stop. You want to be comfortable in your life and have fun.
Is counseling for guys?
You have great friends, but it is hard to know if they are really there for you when it comes to mental health. You don’t feel like you could really talk about this to anyone.
As a guy, it feels like you can’t talk about what is happening. You feel most people wouldn’t understand even if you tried.
You’ve thought about talking to someone, but you’re unsure.
You don’t want to feel like you have a problem.
But here’s the truth, it's okay to ask for help. Everyone needs support from time to time, even guys.
Seeking counseling is a sign of strength, not weakness. As a teen guy, it’s important to know:
You don't have to face your problems alone. Counselors are trained professionals who can help you work through the challenges you may be facing, providing you with the tools and support you need to navigate difficult situations.
Counseling is about Goals, not just Feelings. Thinking of coming in and sitting on a couch talking about your feelings might sound miserable. Counseling focuses on your goals and how to strengthen your mental and emotional health.
Counseling is confidential. What you share in counseling is confidential, so you don't have to worry about anyone else finding out what you discuss in sessions.
Counseling is a safe space to express yourself. Counseling provides a safe and non-judgmental space to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of being criticized or ridiculed.
Counseling builds your mental and emotional health. Counseling can help you learn your strengths and how to handle stressful situations to build the happy life you want.
