Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults in West Bloomfield, Michigan
Are you a parent concerned about your teenager or young adult child? Or are you a young adult yourself who is struggling with emotions, stress, or major life changes? The adolescent and young adult years can be some of the most challenging — and having the right support can make a significant difference.
Growing up today comes with unique pressures. Academic demands, social media, friendships, family dynamics, identity, and the transition to adulthood can all feel overwhelming. When those pressures become too much to manage alone, therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space to work through them.
Common Issues Adolescents and Young Adults Face
Lisa works with teens and young adults navigating a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including:
- Anxiety and excessive worry or overthinking
- Depression, sadness, or low motivation
- Low self-esteem or negative self-image
- Body image concerns and disordered eating patterns
- Academic stress and performance anxiety
- Social difficulties or struggles with peer relationships
- Family conflict or communication breakdowns
- Life transitions such as starting college, changing schools, or leaving home
- Grief and loss
- Identity and self-discovery
Life Transitions Can Be Hard
One of the most common reasons young people seek therapy is a major life transition. Starting high school, heading off to college, entering the workforce, or navigating a significant relationship change can all trigger anxiety, depression, or a sense of being lost. Therapy helps adolescents and young adults build the emotional tools they need to move through these transitions with greater confidence and resilience.
How Therapy Helps Teens and Young Adults
Therapy gives adolescents and young adults a space that is entirely their own — away from parents, teachers, and peers — to talk openly and honestly. Through that process, they can explore their feelings, identify patterns that are holding them back, and develop practical strategies to improve their emotional well-being and daily functioning.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 30 years of experience, Lisa Kruman has worked extensively with young people in a variety of settings, including residential treatment and outpatient therapy. She brings a warm, patient, and non-judgmental approach that helps teens and young adults feel comfortable opening up.
Sessions are available in person at the West Bloomfield office or via teletherapy for clients throughout Michigan.
