Adolescents (Teens)
Adolescent years involve a series of adjustments as teenagers develop and mature. This can be both an exciting and difficult time as teens are expected to take on more responsibility while they are not allowed all of the freedoms they desire. Social pressures during adolescent years can be overwhelming.
The teenage years can be equally as difficult for a parent. During adolescence, it is extremely important that there is open communication and this is often a focus in treatment. Dr. Lacoff works with teens and their parents, allowing the teen a safe place to discuss issues while increasing communication between parent and child.
Many teenagers may be resistant to face to face therapy but in this day of internet technology most teenagers enjoy online psychotherapy. Dr. Lacoff has had great success communicating with adolescents and their families in this manner.
