Question

Taylor, a high school freshman, has been struggling recently with feeling overweight, being easily distracted and unfocused, and behind with schoolwork. Taylor is also having difficulty making new friends and fitting in at school. How could a counseling psychologist help Taylor overcome these issues?

(This is more of a psychology question by the way.)

Answer 1

A psychologist could help in many ways. You said Taylor was having a difficult time with school and concentration. The psychologist may be able to point out that Taylor has ADHD, or ADD, which is affecting her school work and focus. You also said that Taylor was feeling body conscious. A counselor would be able to talk Taylor through her feelings and maybe find the root issue, (some people who are over weight have issues with anxiety or depression)

And as for the friends situation. The counselor might be able to help introduce Taylor to others who are having trouble fitting in as well.
