Youth Striving to Mature
If you have teenagers struggling to find balance between their faith, expectations, and the world around them, Reverend Carol Smith and Mara Dahl at Yes Ministries offer faith-based counseling to Boylston, Worcester, Marlborough, and surrounding MA communities.
The Struggles of Teenagers
The teenage years can be a mixture of excitement and overwhelm – for both the parents and the teens. The parents are excited to watch their child blossom, sad to see they’re no longer babies, and terrified of the effect the world may have on them.
Teenagers, on the other hand, are excited to be coming into their own – but completely confused about what that means. Everything is changing, they want to be grown, but the idea of “mature” the world shows doesn’t seem right. And yet, it’s what is expected and accepted. Figuring out how to fit in and remain steadfast in their faith can seem an impossible feat.
How Faith-Based Counseling Can Help
Counseling rooted in faith is a bit different than what one imagines with traditional counseling. It operates with the understanding that people – including your teens – are not just a physical entity. They have certain beliefs and values that make them who they are. Every aspect should be cared for and addressed.
When counseling teens of Boylston, Worcester, Marlborough, and surrounding MA communities, Reverend Carol Smith and Mara Dahl of Yes Ministries take the time to uncover and nurture the whole person. In addition to talking through the teen’s struggles, they can receive scriptural guidance and prayer to help them make the best decisions while remaining steadfast in their faith and beliefs.
Counseling can also help teens work through guilt, shame, and resentment – issues so many of us deal with after making a poor choice or even considering making one. Additionally, it can help them grow mature in their faith while still appreciating their youth.
Provide your teenagers with the gift of hope, harmony, and wholeness by scheduling a faith-based counseling session at Yes Ministries of Boylston, Worcester, Marlborough, and surrounding MA communities. You can schedule a session with Rev. Carol Smith at (774) 261-0682 or Mara Dahl at (774) 262-6269.
