Outstanding! Yes you can absolutely choose the populations you would like to work with and even if you are not place with kids during your degree program in field, you can get CEs and look for work with adolescents.
I work with individuals 4 yrs old - 70 yrs old. Much success with your dreams!
Yes, you can choose to focus your work with teenagers. Keep in mind that if you work with children or adolescents, at some point, you will have to do work with their parents or guardians.
