Adolescence is a deeply transformative stage — physically, emotionally, and socially. It is a time of exploration, identity formation, and growing autonomy, often accompanied by inner conflict and a strong need for both independence and support.
At APIPC, we support adolescents through this stage by offering a safe, respectful, and understanding therapeutic space, where they can reflect, express themselves, and grow with confidence.
Adolescence is a time of discoveries, but also of doubts, impulses, and challenges. Between the desire for autonomy and the need for support, feelings of tension, insecurity, or inner conflict often arise.
With so many changes, it is natural for difficulties to appear, such as:
These signs, often seen as “typical of the age,” may be expressions of something deeper that the teenager cannot yet put into words.
At APIPC, we help uncover what lies behind these behaviors and transform suffering into self-knowledge and balance.

Psychological support for adolescents aims to create a safe, judgment-free space where they feel comfortable talking about what worries them, fears, doubts, pressures, relationships, school, or identity.
The goal is to help them better understand their emotions and find new ways to deal with challenges, promoting self-confidence, emotional maturity, and well-being.
Through time, attentive listening, and respect, this process helps adolescents learn to pause before acting, recognise and name their emotions, and grow in a more conscious and healthy way.
At APIPC, we support adolescents and families in finding balance, understanding, and well-being.
