“The average high school student has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s.” - Dr. Robert Leahy, 2008
Between AP classes, competitive sports, SAT/ACT tests, college applications, social media, shifting friend dynamics; our teens are under tremendous stress. All of this happening during a developmental phase where they are pulling away, finding independence, and exposed to risk. It’s stressful for both the teen and their parents. I am here to help and be a trusted adult in your child’s life.
