counseling for Adolescents & teens in Santa Clarita, Ca.
You worry about your kid so much; the extreme sensitivity and moodiness. You can’t seem to reach them. Instead, they end up locked in their room.. You don’t understand why they do what they do and their actions scare you to death. They are so smart, creative and talented and it seems like it’s being wasted away. You know they're overcome with anxiety. They must be depressed too.
The sullen looks, the door slamming, the loss of appetite, and the weird ideas freak you out sometimes. You hate to admit it but you feel embarrassed and to blame. Blogs, friends, podcasts, church-nothing has helped. You feel overwhelmed and bone weary tired of this battle. You’re wondering if anyone knows how to help. You feel like they went into a tunnel and you can't follow. You wonder if they'll ever come out on the other side. You are ready for a change
My name is Robin and I am A teen therapist In Santa Clarita, And I can Help
I’m Robin Martin, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and I am looking forward to building a relationship with your adolescent and/or teen that helps move them through the teen tunnel and out into the light and back to you! I specialize in ADHD, Autism Spectrum, Sensitivity, depression, anxiety and school behavior problems. My teen clients feel like they can let their guard down and relax with me. We have fun in sessions breaking the ice in hilarious ways. They know they’re not going to offend or burden me with their ideas, opinions or thoughts. They feel safe. They know they have an ally in whom they can confide and feel accepted. This helps move them toward learning new skills. They begin gaining confidence. Which moves them on a more positive path. The parents who work with me begin to understand the issues their teen struggles with and move back into confidence, peace, and joy. Together we can help you love and care for the most important thing in your life. Working with me you'll learn how to persevere when you think you’ve tried everything, gain new skills to overcome extreme emotions, promote conversations and open up the lines of communication again.
