Psychology for Adolescents

If you are looking for therapy for adolescents in Marbella, I welcome you to my centre. You can contact me via Whatsapp right now for any questions you may have. Adolescence is a stage full of physical and psychological changes, the word adolescence itself means transition, growth, and sometimes it is difficult to adapt.

“The changes that most affect adolescents are physical changes, mental changes and changes in the environment that surrounds us”.

In these years of life, a large number of emotional, cognitive, social, psychological, behavioural difficulties may appear, without necessarily being pathological. At this stage, sometimes the adolescent does not feel fully understood enough, no matter how hard their environment tries. In consultation they will find unconditional support, an ally, who will teach them to manage their thoughts and emotions, to form their own identity, to be resolute in the face of any problems that may arise, and to make choices that will be good for their present and future life.

The sessions last approximately one hour. Sometimes it is the adolescent him/herself who comes to us, sometimes only the parents seek guidance and counselling, and sometimes it is possible to do Family Therapy together. It all depends on the case. We will look for the issues to improve, and we will work as a team until we reach an improvement both individually and in the family atmosphere.

It is very common for parents or those responsible for the child to feel frustrated that something is slipping through their fingers. And I understand why this happens to them, as it usually happens in most cases, they lack information, because, even if it is out of respect, jealousy of their privacy or shame… they do not open up completely to their parents, although the latter believe that they do. And in many cases, the adolescents themselves also lack information, because they are in constant change, they tend to have tangled thoughts, insecurity, they feel misunderstood… and all this creates an internal bomb that can be transformed into anguish. The ideal is to find someone external and objective, who will teach them how to deal with all the obstacles they encounter, and thus be able to find security or stability in their life, which will teach them tools with which to continue with the rest of their life. That is why I always focus on parents not insisting on being able to deal with all their children’s problems, because it is like trying to break down a wall with your bare hands. I look forward to seeing you in consultation, either for guidance or to bring your child directly to me.
