Psychological support allows adolescents who feel misunderstood by those around them or who are experiencing one or more persistent symptoms to have a space for listening, trust and without judgment.
In therapy, adolescents can benefit from support in exploring and expressing their difficulties and thus find their own solutions, shape their identity and orient themselves towards their personal path.
CONSULTATION
