A Note From The Santa Monica Teen & Family Therapist

Does your teen pretend to be someone that they are not? Here are some ways to address this with your teen. – Sandra

Where you are born, and where you go to school does not necessarily determine who you are meant to be. You come into this world with unique gifts and talents. You have your own physical expression, as well as your own personality and style. Add to that your life experiences, and areas of interest, and you have an individual like no other.

By trying on many types of different behavior, you are discovering your authentic expression. Are you the athletic type? Are you the scholar? Are you an entertainer, or an artist? Are you the peace-maker? These are questions only you can answer for yourself.

High school is a time when you will feel pulled to fit in with the crowd. Yet, by doing this, are you being true to yourself? You may want to start thinking where you would like to go with your life

For some, this may mean raising a family in a home filled with love. For others, this may mean becoming an educator and contributing to changing the world. Anything is possible, but first, you must get to know yourself, and then find the courage to be yourself in all your magnificence.

If your teen or young adult child is struggling socially or emotionally, I can help you to discover the cause and remedy it.
