Help Your Teen Girl Cope with Family Conflict in St. Petersburg, FL.

 

Family conflict is a seemingly inevitable fact of life. Unfortunately, healthy conflict management is a learned skill that many people struggle with. Therefore, it makes sense that your teen girl may not feel equipped to deal with family conflict or the direct and indirect effects of conflict between other family members.

What to look for:

Teen girls may express their discomfort with family conflict in indirect ways or through symptoms and behavior.

Here are a few examples of things to watch out for:

  • Mood swings

  • Anger

  • Crying

  • Panic attacks

  • Lethargy

  • Poor diet

  • Poor hygiene

  • Dropping grades

  • Substance abuse

  • Emotionally distant

  • Loss of interest in friends/socializing

What to expect from therapy:

When starting counseling for your teen girl surrounding family conflict we will focus on healthy coping skills, conflict management, and other individually relevant tools to ensure your teen is able to better manage and regulate their own emotions in response to conflict around them. We create a safe environment that encourages teens to open up, share their worries, and learn valuable life skills that can be applied to both their current and future circumstances. Teen isolation as a result of family conflict can have its own set of consequences, so our work together will include identifying healthy support systems and ways in which your teen can support themselves when family conflict is present.
