At certain points in an adolescent or young adult’s life, questions begin to grow. College selection, career path, dating, relationships, personal independence and other major life issues require more attention.
Making these major life decisions can be overwhelming, and it is not uncommon for teenagers to respond to the fear and pressure with what appears to be a lack of motivation, a lack of initiative, or even self-destructive behaviors. However, the fear and anxiety that drive these detrimental responses can be mitigated and resolved when the teenager is able to address the emotions and be counseled on the decisions.
Whether you are a concerned parent or a young man facing these decisions, individual professional counseling can help a young adult get from where he is to where he wants to be. Using tools such as personality assessments and aptitude tests and through self-exploration and family context, you can encourage personal development within four dimensions of life goals:
Personal: dealing with current issues
Vocational: school, college, job, career
Relational: family, friends, dating/marriage
Spiritual: personal discovery, preservation, and growth
