​
WE PROVIDE TEEN THERAPY BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A FAMILY, DEPENDING ON THE TEEN AND FAMILIES NEEDS AND GOALS.
​
We view families as tight systems–when one member of the family is struggling, everyone is struggling. What this translates to in our practice is that we don’t just work with teens in isolation.
​
PARENTS, YOU ARE an IMPORTANT part of your teen’s therapy.
While you might not always be physically present in the therapy session, your support matters and we will be in communication as much as you, your teen, and their therapist decides is appropriate. There will be certain sessions where we'll meet with you and your teen to give everyone a chance to have a voice and to give your family a chance to practice different ways of interacting with each other. In family sessions, we want to create something positive and meaningful in our time together so you can have a stronger relationship with your teen built on mutual understanding and respect.
