Dear Therapist:
I am writing about a young man who has been trying hard to find a job. He is capable and responsible, but he is naturally quiet and somewhat shy.
He has gone on a number of interviews that did not lead anywhere, and he is starting to worry that something about the way he comes across is holding him back. The more it happens, the more self-conscious he becomes, which only seems to make things harder.
How much can nervousness or shy …
Dear Therapist:
Our 17-year-old son struggles with ADHD and also has very low self-esteem. He recently told us that he wants to work on his confidence and how he feels about himself.
The challenge is that much of his frustration seems to come from difficulties with organization, follow-through, and daily functioning. He does not have much interest in working on practical strategies.

Dear Therapist:
We have a teenage son who has been struggling. He has become moody, angry, and seems depressed. We are trying to take the right steps and have gotten help from a therapist and psychologist, who have said he is dealing with depression. Recently, someone in his school told us they strongly believe that with the way he is doing, there must have been some kind of trauma, and that this is where this is all coming from. That has left us …
Dear Therapist:
My husband recently lost his mother. They were very close, and he has taken it very hard. He is the youngest in the family, and she was niftar relatively young and suddenly. I’ve been trying to support him, but I’m not sure what is helpful. At times I try to lift his mood or help him move forward, but it does not seem to land well. At the same time, I hear that grieving needs space, and that trying to move on …
