Life-Changing Help for Teens

The Self-Awareness Weekend (SAW) Counseling Program is excellent for troubled teens and provides them a profound shift in their mental health with a new outlook and approach on life.

Issues that your teen may be facing that we can resolve in the SAW Counseling Program:

• Discipline issues, parental control difficulties                                      
• Communication problems
• Power/control issues: refusing to follow the rules, defiance, violent behavior
• Depression, anxiety, fear, persistent worry, temper outbursts, easily annoyed, argumentative, spiteful
• Cutting or other destructive behavior, suicidal thoughts and behaviors
• Behavior problems at home and/or school
• Running away from home
• School problems: failure at school, noticeable changes in school performance or attendance
• Peer issues: being bullied at school or abuse
• Eating disorders; suddenly gaining or losing a lot of weight
• Extreme, rapid changes in moods or personality, or drastic changes that last more than 6 weeks
• Self-esteem issues
• Any kind of drug use: marijuana, meth, ecstasy, cocaine, tobacco, alcohol problems, or addiction of any kind
• Family issues: blended family adjustment/issues, single parent difficulties, step-parent concerns, divorce issues
• The loss of a close friend or girl or boyfriend through death, a breakup of the relationship or moving
• Sexual issues, risky sexual behavior or sexual promiscuity
• Other risky or dangerous behavior

SAW reaches young people in a way traditional therapy doesn’t. It finds the root cause of the feeling, problem, and pain and removes it. SAW’s safe and experiential environment allows and encourages the teen to cry, express fear, and release anger in responsible ways.  The result of the work in SAW is that the self-defeating beliefs such as: "I don’t matter, I am not good enough, I can’t trust anyone, no one cares," are removed.  It is these beliefs are causing the self-defeating patterns that so negatively affecting the life of the teen and those around him/her.  Remove the negative belief and the feeling that goes with it, and you remove the self-defeating pattern.

A report about helping teens says: “understand why their behaviors are negative and teach them to cope better.” We disagree! Our approach is to remove the cause of the pain and change the negative beliefs and thoughts to self-enhancing beliefs and thoughts!

Teens, especially, respond to groups. The group setting at SAW gives them a sense of personal power they’ve probably never experienced, which can instantly eliminate the power struggles that so many teens and their families experience. Through SAW, teens discover a new-found respect for others that translates to happier teens and improved family relationships when they return home. As a result, they re-engage in life and perform better in school.

If you are a teen/young adult who feels lost and misunderstood, and/or a frustrated and concerned parent, we KNOW we can help you.

Under certain circumstances, a parent may attend SAW with their teenager.
