Counseling for girls (all ages)

You are not alone! Growing up girl in today’s world is challenging – even more so than when you were her age. Confusing friendships, challenging relationships, academic pressures, and social media…. This is a lot to navigate.

We teach girls to exercise the power of their voice and learn to harness their emotions.

At Warrenton Women’s Counseling Center, we focus on social – emotional development which we know to be the foundation of success for girls. Helping girls to understand themselves better and learn to make healthy choices is what we do! Girls have BIG emotions and need support in understanding, managing, and communicating how they feel. Most adults don’t know how to do this. By the way, we teach adults too.

Sometimes, girls are not willing to attend therapy sessions but after learning what we offer, the benefits of therapy can help change their mind. Our experienced counselors will help unveil dormant obstacles in a girls’ life. Further, our individual counseling sessions are always client-generated, and coach supported. Girls are provided a platform to express themselves in a safe, trustworthy, and judge-free environment. The therapist may serve as a trusted person, guiding you to explore and find solutions to personal or private issues. Together we establish goals, identify obstacles, and create strategies for change and success. We focus on a wide array of topics, including:

Learning and practicing strong communication skills
Transforming anxiety and depression through education and behavioral changes
Building self-esteem, self-confidence, and resiliency
Eating issues (orthorexia, body dysmorphia, binge eating, emotional eating, body image, negative cultural messages and more
Dealing with difficult relationships and learning how to manage conflict
Understanding emotions and practicing healthy coping skills
Navigating friendship challenges, girl drama, dating and academic pressures
Understanding and learning how to deal with bullying (at school, on social media and in the world)

Help for Young Adults Transitioning into Adulthood

Every generation has its own struggles and it can be tough for older generations to relate to and understand the things that are making today’s young adults worry.

Gen Zers, as well as Millenials, have grown up with social media as part of the fabric of their everyday lives. However, that doesn’t stop them from being concerned about it. Young adults have plenty of reasons to see social media as a challenge that they must grapple with. It is somewhat of a necessity as well as a problem at times.

Some common challenges young adults today face are:

Education and employment decisions
Mental health difficulties
Social media
Body image anxiety

Climate change
Violence
Relationships
Money / Debt

At Warrenton Women’s Counseling Center we educate, equip, and empower young adults to feel confident about their future and learn to take action in all the right ways. Feeling confused, overwhelmed and stuck about one’s future is common at times. However, with support from our trained counselors, you can learn to overcome obstacles and create the right path forward. We understand how difficult this transition period can be.
