Teen Talk
Therapy For Teens, is it right for me?
Feeling stressed, unhappy or overwhelmed? Having problems with your parents, friends or grades? Sometimes talking to someone who will listen objectively and provide confidential support can help you work things out. The TFCC's counselors may be able to assist (see the Clinic Client Services page for assistance). Since our mission is to provide affordable and accessible counseling for teens and their families and facilitate positive changes in their lives, we are very aware of teens' issues and the challenges teens face. Our counselors see clients with a variety of issues, including relationship problems, depression, substance abuse, family conflict, stress, grief, academic problems, divorce and eating disorders.
