Counseling for Teenagers
Teen Therapy in Bozeman, MT
Individual Teen Therapy
Your child is changing before your eyes. They are officially a teenager. They are withdrawing, have newfound challenges in school, or maybe you have found drug paraphernalia in the home. These can all be markers of this challenging transition.
We have been very successful engaging even the most resistant teenagers with our focus on building a strong connection based on mutual respect.
Our counselors enhance the traditional therapy model by including games, outdoor recreation, and creative learning experiences when appropriate.
