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
