Teen Issues

The hard news is that parenting a teenager is one of the more difficult things we face in life. The good news is that you’re not alone.

In the midst of the torrent of hormones, changing friendships, and the big questions of adolescence, many teens find themselves at a loss. Afraid to talk with parents, but still in desperate need of guidance, many teens turn to their peers and culture for answers. 

Unfortunately, this leaves many teens wanting, and not knowing where to turn.

Whether your teen's grades are failing or they're still on the honor roll, counseling can help them sort through the confusion, anger, and shame that typically come with the teen years. 

If you've seen sudden and drastic changes in your teenager’s mood, grades, friendships or behavior, ask them if they'd like to talk it out with a counselor. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for them to sort through the stuff in their life, helping them get their feet on solid ground so they can better enjoy the turbulent time of adolescence. Our counselors have spent decades working with teens on their turf, and knows how to help them feel safe enough to share what's really going on.

Here’s an article we wrote to help you figure out if your teen might be abusing drugs, alcohol, or pornography.

Getting help for your teenager is one great way to show them your love for them, and your dedication to them.

Sexual Issues

"All he ever wants is sex. He doesn't even SEE me, he just wants to use me!"

"I'm terrified of being that vulnerable with someone else. I want intimacy, but I have no idea how to get it."

"I can't not look at porn. No matter what I do, everything and everyone is turned into sex."

In the midst of an ever-changing sexual culture, it’s easy to get lost, confused or bound up along the way.

A lot of folks are confused about their sexuality, or desire freedom from shame in their sexuality. While many just long to have freedom from destructive behaviors and impulses like pornography or sexually acting out. Today, many men find themselves impotent because of fear, stress or an abuse of pornography. Many couples report that their sex life has diminished into near non-existence, or that sex is their only way of connecting. Women often describe the immense shame they feel for being too sexual, or not sexual enough.

Whatever your stance, whatever your issue- be it confusion, shame, or addiction- Red River Counseling can help assist you in finding the relief and wholeness you long for. 

PTSD/Trauma Care

Trauma are those life events that change the way you view yourself and the world around you. Traumatic events affect us each differently and often leave us feeling vigilant, afraid, and distrustful.

If you find yourself suffering from PTSD, or just can’t get over something in your past, let us help you find freedom from the traumatic effects. Often, traumatic experiences like the unexpected loss of a loved one, divorce, car accidents, natural disasters, abuse, neglect, bullying, or sudden life changes cause us to get angry, numb out, push away our friends, or just run away. It can also have major impacts on our sleep, diet, and relationships. However, there is a way through the pain. 

We have counselors trained to help you heal from the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. However you have been impacted, we can help guide you towards relief and wholeness.
