Adolescents and Parents

Thanks so much for visiting and welcome! Do you find that parenting your adolescent is taking the joy out of parenting? Perhaps you feel unprepared for today’s demands that both you and your teen face. Parenting your adolescent is surely one of the great challenges you face as a parent.

You may be noticing all kinds of shifts and changes in the relationship you have with your teen. Many of these changes may be perplexing and even a little bit scary. Do you wonder where your teen’s behavior is headed? Perhaps you ask yourself, “Is my daughter more interested in her friends than in her family? Has our son basically stopped talking with us and what about his angry attitude these days?”

You have come to the right place. I can help you and your teen during this important time of transition.  Family therapy, parent coaching, adolescent psychotherapy, and relationship building are all viable choices proven to be effective in helping teens and parents.  Together we will decide which course is best for your family.

Control is now a very big issue as you and your young person both fight for it. Parenting skills that worked well when your teen was younger now may seem outmoded or even irrelevant. Are you searching for a better path through this maze? If you are, please read on.
