WORKING WITH ADOLESCENTS

At Drummoyne Psychology we work compassionately and effectively with adolescents and young people, as well as with parents of adolescents. Adolescence can be a challenging and exciting period which sees rapid physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes in the young person. There are a number of unique challenges inherent to this developmental period and we strive to work with young people and their families to navigate these challenges. Some common concerns and issues include:

​

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Body image issues

  • Family conflict

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Study stress

  • Alcohol and other drug use

  • Behavioural difficulties

  • Friendship and relationship issues

  • Questions around sexual identity

  • Gaming addiction

  • Social media concerns
