Counseling Generation Y
Today’s adolescents face many conflicts and real issues that can prevent them from enjoying life. Our counselors can help adolescents discuss these issues — problems such as conflict in the home, stress, depression, problems at school, and peer pressure — eventually empowering the teen to build the motivation needed to understand and resolve the issues. In addition to counseling the adolescent, we also offer programs for the parents of troubled teens as well as a program (Functional Family Therapy) that involves the whole family in the counseling process.
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is the family-based prevention and intervention program utilized by our FFT-trained counselors when it’s determined that involvement of the whole family is necessary to resolve the issues at hand. The focus of this unique therapy is on the total family, not just the young person’s issues. It promotes communication between the parents and the young person, and through this open dialogue — and our counselors’ guidance — issues are identified, discussed and resolved. Family Answers is one of only a few counseling agencies in Pennsylvania certified to use this effective approach.
