Cognitive shifts include grasp of logical thinking, advance in reading and critical thought, and explore complex topics. Socially, they build deeper friendships, navigate group dynamics, and develop a sense of identity. Language-wise, vocabulary and communication become more sophisticated, reading skills improve, and writing evolves to express intricate ideas. At Ray’s Room, we use talking therapies, individual and family therapy, and experiential therapies for kids of this age.

Cognitively, adolescents refine abstract thinking, critical analysis, and decision-making abilities. Socially, they deepen empathy, explore identity, and improve emotional regulation. At Rays Room, we support young adults through their journey using CBT, DBT, Mindfulness Based Therapies, and family therapy.
ADHD and Conduct Disorders
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps individuals with ADHD identify and change negative thought patterns, impulsive behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies to manage impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity.
- Skill-Building: Therapists teach practical skills like time management, organization, planning, and task initiation to help individuals with ADHD better manage their daily responsibilities.
- Behavioral Interventions: Behavioral therapies involve creating structured routines, setting clear expectations, and using rewards or consequences to encourage positive behaviors and discourage impulsive actions.
