We like to think that we are one of the leading organizations for teen counseling in Dexter and the rest of Southeast Missouri. Our practice is built on our founder’s years working in the Dexter Public Schools with a generation of teens. This experience translates into understanding what teen life is like in Southeast Missouri, and the special pressures and issues teens face.

Taking a proactive approach to teen mental health is always a good idea, especially today. Coming out of the pandemic, it became clear that teens may have been the group that suffered the greatest. The CDC reports that all teens are experiencing higher rates of sexual violence, suicidal thoughts, suicidal behavior and many other issues. The picture is even worse for teen girls, 60% of which are reporting feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness.

Counseling can help your teen navigate these troubling times. Request an appointment or more information today.

Benefits of Counseling for Teens

Teens are particularly subject to negative emotions and feelings of low self-worth. The benefits of counseling for teens are as varied as teens themselves, but most come out of counseling with more positive self-images, stronger emotional regulation skills, and increased communication abilities.

Issues Teens Work on in Counseling

Teens typically have a lot going on. Counseling can help with specific situations, such as dealing with grief. Others may need to work through school-related issues from academics to social pressure. And still, others focus on building up their self-image and regulating negative emotions. And… sometimes a teen may want to work on all of these things. It’s a very complicated time!
