Your teenager doesn't need to get better. They need to be understood.

They withdraw. Stop talking. Or explode over "nothing". Grades drop. They spend hours on their phone, alone in their room. You no longer know how to reach them. You feel like you're walking on eggshells.

What you observe is not bad will. It is often a sign that something inside is trying to express itself — and cannot find the words.

In relational therapy, the teenager finds a space that belongs to them.

Adolescence is a period of transformation. Identity is being built, emotions overflow, relationships with parents are being renegotiated. And it can also be very heavy to carry alone.

A place where they can speak without being judged, without it getting back to the parents, without having to "be okay" to reassure others.

I support the teenager in working on self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships with peers and family, and the construction of an identity that feels like theirs.
