Adolescence is a time of significant change and development, often accompanied by a range of challenges that can be overwhelming for both teens and their families. At Deseret Counseling Center, we offer specialized counseling services for adolescents, providing them with the support and guidance they need to navigate this critical stage of life.

As adolescents face pressures related to school, friendships, family dynamics, and the transition to adulthood, it’s essential to have a trusted and understanding professional to help them process their experiences. Dr. David Brown, Ph.D., with nearly four decades of experience in counseling, is dedicated to helping adolescents aged 12 and above cope with the unique challenges they encounter.

Our adolescent counseling services address a variety of issues, including:

• Anxiety and stress management
• Depression and mood disorders
• Peer pressure and social relationships
• Family conflicts and communication challenges
• Self-esteem and body image concerns
• Academic stress and performance issues
• Identity development and self-discovery
• Coping with significant life changes, such as divorce or relocation

Using a Cognitive-behavioral approach, Dr. Brown helps adolescents identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, empowering them to make healthier choices and develop a more positive outlook. Our counseling sessions provide a safe, confidential space where teens can express themselves openly, explore their feelings, and gain the tools they need to manage their emotions and challenges effectively.



We also recognize the importance of involving parents and guardians in the counseling process, fostering better communication and understanding within the family. By working together, we can create a supportive environment that promotes the well-being and development of your adolescent.

At Deseret Counseling Center, our goal is to help adolescents build resilience, confidence, and the skills they need to thrive during this pivotal time in their lives. Whether your teen is struggling with specific issues or simply needs guidance in navigating the complexities of growing up, we are here to provide the support they need.
