Childhood sexual abuse, academic failure, attention-deficit, hyperactivity disorder, juvenile violence and aggression, substance abuse, depression, and suicide are among the most pressing mental health problems facing children and adolescents today.

The Adolescent Therapy component of Solution for Living's multi-dimensional programming is a time-intensive, in-home, family and community related intervention intended for high risk children/adolescents who have been or are likely to be resistant or unresponsive to traditional outpatient psychotherapy.

Therapy with adolescents is similar to that of adults but not quite the same. Teenagers are in a developmental phase where they are striving very hard to become separate and independent from their parents, however, they actually still very much have deep attachment needs to their parents and this may lead to conflict.
Teens may go overboard in their attempts to achieve freedom, i.e., the so-called rebellious phase, and they may also engage in unhealthy romantic relationships because of their desire to keep dependency needs in the face of separation from the closeness with their parents that they knew just a few years earlier as young children.
This therapy offers the opportunity to discuss problems one-to-one with a therapist, and this may be supplemented with activities and play materials. Discussions and activities are based on the age and developmental level of the teen or young persons.
