Adolescent Counseling Services

Teens often feel unheard and misunderstood. With the constant pressure from social media, culture, school and friends, the life of teens today can be just plain difficult. Sometimes your teen needs to sit down with someone who will see them as they are and help them decipher all of these conflicting messages. At Winter Garden Wellness we will:

  • Listen with an open mind and no agenda so your teen will feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics.
  • Accept them as is. This is crucial when working with teens whose top priority at this stage of development is discovering who they are and wanting to fit in.
  • Offer guidance towards becoming a healthy adult. We will partner with you to get a complete picture of your teens family life and your hopes for their future.

How to find the best Teen Counselor

Making the decision to find the right counselor for your teen is important. You often must weigh the benefits of a younger counselor who could relate better, perhaps with less experience or a more experienced counselor who may be their parents’ age or older. The most important thing you should do is find someone whom both you and your teen feel comfortable with. This may take some time and effort at the beginning, but will make a difference in the outcome. The relationship that your teen has with their counselor is far more impactful than any other factor.

Helping your teen function best

As parents, many times we have problems communicating with our teens. We often think, why don’t they listen, haven’t I explained this a million times? Here’s a secret, they feel the same way. By having a safe space to vent, be heard and ask questions, your teen will learn to function best at home, in school and throughout their life. We will provide them with the tools to communicate with those they are around in a positive and productive manner.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll Answer

What are some reasons a teen could need counseling?

Today teens are bombarded with conflicting messages everywhere they go. Social media, friends, school, and society often tell them that things are good even when they know or feel otherwise. Teens experience stress, anxiety, depression, confusion, loneliness, and a host of other feelings. These feelings can often lead to behavioral problems, substance abuse, poor school performance, and loss of interest in friends or family.

Many problems in life stem from a breakdown in communication. Every child develops at a different rate and many tweens and teens have not learned how to identify and effectively communicate how they are feeling. Throw in hormones, pressures, and feelings of uncertainty, and you end up with a moody teen who may not appear to be listening. As a parent your child knows you love them but may not see you as objective. Talking with a counselor gives your teen an opportunity to discuss their issues with someone who is outside of the situation.

Bryan is an expert who understands how to break down and get to the root of an issue, and his strategies and approach were immensely helpful for my family. Above all, he truly cares about his patients and helps them. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

icon Lauren C.

I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.

icon Alan B.

In my time in Florida, I had the opportunity to work alongside Bryan in helping families and I believe him to be of high integrity and care with his patients. He demonstrates great knowledge of what each client needs and doesn’t just care about the psychology behind the issues the clients face, but deeply cares about the patients. Long-term health is always the goal Bryan seeks to attain for each client. There are few counselors who care about their patients the way Bryan does. I would, and have, recommend him to any family or individual struggling with the issues life brings.

icon Tessa L.

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bryan!

icon Brett L.

To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist…I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.

icon Ashley M.

I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

icon Maria F.

My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.

After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.

I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

Thank you, Bryan!
