I get this question all of the time, and for good reason. It is absolutely possible that some of your teen’s current frustrations and mood swings could be due to puberty and hormonal changes that are occurring at this time in their lives. Some aspects of this can and do improve on their own over time, simply due to biology. However, even in the cases where it’s mainly hormones that will “fix itself” over time, teen counseling and therapy can assist in the development of healthy behavior patterns and mindsets to improve current struggles and increase the chances of overall satisfaction in life (both currently and in the future). We want to ensure that your teen feels supported during this unique time in their lives, and decreasing feelings of overwhelm and frustration will be essential.
