title: Coming of age: the adolescent in psychotherapy.
abstract: Psychotherapy clients in their adolescence are receptive to self-exploration. When given the opportunity to reduce external distractions and directives, these young individuals are serious seekers of emotional well-being. They also seek quality and genuine interpersonal relationships. Gentle guidance within a safe container encourages adolescents to explore their inner world.
