PARENT SUPPORT

Having a troubled teenager is an exhausting experience. Many parents feel scared, ashamed, angry, or worried and wonder how their child changed so dramatically. Parents often feel overwhelmed in trying to determine the best course of action for their adolescent.

We understand this process having worked with teens and families since 1995. Most of our teenage clients are wonderful people but are behaving in ways that demonstrate confusion, anger, and pain. It is our job to help these adolescents regain their healthy and purposeful lives, and to support parents during this process. We teach parents to interact with their teens in a way that positively transforms the entire family.

In order to be successful at this stage, teens need a strong foundation of values and interpersonal connections they can depend on. They need trustworthy people who offer them a positive reflection of themselves so they can eventually go out into the world and be successful, happy adults. They need acceptance, encouragement, clear boundaries, and realistic goals and expectations.

We maintain close contact with families at all stages. This allows us to assess the family system. Mindful that the adolescent's problem is not a "quick fix" and usually involves the entire family system, we provide assessment of and personal attention and care to the whole family to ensure that the family has the necessary resources to shift and heal.
